1849 in Russia

none in RussiaIn 1849, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia sent forces to intervene in the Hungarian Revolution, which was threatening to topple the Austro-Hapsburg leadership in Europe. Nicholas sent over 100,00 Russian troops into Hungary and Transylvania, forcing the surrender of the Hungarian Revolutionary Army. 1849 was also the year of the Petrashevsky Circle’s arrest as part of Nicholas’s attempts to suppress dissenters and liberal intellectuals. Fyodor Dostoevsky and other prisoners were subject to an infamous mock execution before being sent to Siberian labor camps.Frank, Joseph (2010). Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time.
