DBWI: What if the Decembrist Revolution lost?

Ah, the Decembrist Revolution: a time of violence and bloodshed. It shaped the modern Russian Empire, and then the Russian Republic. It brought bourgeois, democratic ideals to our country and gave Russia the freedom to rise to glory. I'm asking this question: what if the Decembrist Revolution failed to succeed?

Oh, and another, smaller question. What is your opinion on Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, one of the first and the most famous and beloved Chairman of the Committee of Ministers of Russia?
