    The Decembrists were a group of soldiers who rebelled against Nicholas the first in Russia in 1825. After failing to negotiate peace with Nicholas, he open-fired on the soldiers and many lives were lost. The Decembrists felt that Nicholas did not deserve the throne because it was bequeathed upon Constantine, his older brother. They also wanted a government and a constitution, following trends occurring in France.

    it is so damn "smarter than the average public" who thinks history was all fun and games.....it makes me feel like I'm not being treated like I can't handle reality and so I am given their take on life in real hardcore past in the songs these guys make and try and capture what the heck might have gone through a mans head from the olden days when our grandfathers all hated each other or people "dueled" in the streets for honor etc

    They sing about pirates like they are actual criminals instead of goofy Disney characters.....so therefore they are simply showing us mature adults what pirates are really interesting for.....their horrible crimes...not johnny depp and magic haha

    This song is why I fight! it makes me want to fucking fight something corrupt

    If I was 15 in the past and poor and looking at joining the navy it might make me want to die and kill in war for ideals and shit.....hell i'd want to help kill the bad guys! but then I'd need to hope that my nation goes to war and then never-mind real life is more complicated than the song....I don't like the simple nature of this decemberist song...it is better when they sing of hardcore realistic history
