Decembrist Paragraph

 

 

 

This is a view across Decembrists Square (Площадь Декабристов, with the Bronze Horseman in the center) towards St. Isaac's Cathedral. At the time of the Decembrist revolt in 1825, the Square was called "Senate Square" because immediately to the rear of the square was the new Senate (government) building that had been erected in 1763. The other end of the Square opened onto the Neva River.
