What happens if in 1827 the Decembrists in Sankt-Peterbourg manage to force Nikolai to abdicate in favor of Konstantin, likely by a greater degree of support from the mob and various other army regiments? Will Nikolai attempt to flee the city and govern from Moskva? Does Konstantin agree to take the throne, and if so, does he institute the liberal reforms which the Decembristi called for? What is the reaction of the much more radical groups of Decembristi in the Ukraine?

Are there any other PODs anyone can think of to arrive at a "successful" (whatever that means to you) Decembrist Revolt?

What is the reaction of the other great powers if a Russian Republican Revolution occurs? Can they successfully invade Russia or is Russia able to defend itself in the long run to a degree that France, surrounded by hostile powers, couldn't?
