Story behind the song
"Katorga (ка́торга, from medieval Greek: katergon, κάτεργον galley) was a system of penal servitude of the prison farm type in Imperial Russia. Prisoners were sent to remote camps in vast uninhabited areas of Siberia—where voluntary labourers were never available in satisfactory numbers—and forced to perform hard labour." "The Decembrist revolt or the Decembrist uprising (Russian: Восстáние декáбристов) took place in Imperial Russia on December 14 (December 26 New Style), 1825. Russian army officers led about 3,000 soldiers in a protest against Nicholas I's assumption of the throne after his elder brother Constantine removed himself from the line of succession. Because these events occurred in December, the rebels were called the Decembrists (Dekabristy, Russian: Декáбристы). This uprising took place in the Senate Square in St. Petersburg. In 1925, to mark the centenary of the event, it was renamed as Decembrist Square (Ploshchad' Dekabristov, Russian: Плóщадь Декáбристов). The revolt was personally suppressed by Nicholas I of Russia."
Lyrics
This is going to be This is going to be This is going to be A December to remember Revolt has been suppressed Constitution has been hanged But Love still smiles, The wives reach their husbands In exile.
