In an article about the trials of participants in the 1825 uprising on St. Petersburg’s Senate Square, the Russian business daily Vedomosti mistakenly labeled the Decembrists an “undesirable” organization — a legal status that bans a group from operating in Russia and criminalizes any involvement with it.
