Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Decembrist Revolt of 1825 was initiated by an elite corps of Russian army officers who were dissatisfied with the autocratic rule of Nicholas I and sought to establish a constitutional monarchy. The formation of the Third Section (a secret police force) was one of the grievances that led to the revolt, but it was not the direct cause of it. The assassination of Nicholas I did not occur until 1855, thirty years after the Decembrist Revolt. There is no evidence to suggest that a fuel shortage in Saint Petersburg played a role in the revolt. While some of the Decembrist leaders may have been influenced by republican ideals, there is little to suggest that they were obsessed with Jacobinism.
