Popis: The article explores the influence of dissident Spanish officers in Spain and Naples, Italy on the Decembrist movement in imperial Russia. The author reflects on Russian revolutionary solidarity with insurgents in Spain, Naples, and Greece in order to focus on the international aspects of European revolutions. Emphasis is given to revolutionary tactics such as demands for limits on monarchical power and a reliance upon religious language to resist tyrants. Other topics include Spanish catechisms during the Napoleonic Wars, regicide, and resistance to French dictator Napoleon Bonaparte.
