In 1825, the death of Alexander I, Yekaterina's beloved grandson, triggered a political crisis by the succession of his brother Constantine, who married a Polish bride and lived happily in Warsaw without any consideration of the throne. In December, Alexander's youngest brother, Nikolai, received the exclusion of free-thinking officers because of his militaristic ideology, and the armed coup they staged in St. Petersburg was suppressed by Nikolai's army. The nobles were called the "Decembers" and more than 100 of them, along with their families, were exiled to Siberia for hard labor, including Duke Volkonsky.
