Does anyone know where I could find information about the
so-called "gasil'niki," who tried to "extinguish" the "fire"
of the Decembrist movement? It seems to me that I've seen something
on them in A. I. Turgenev, but I can't find it. Can anyone help
with specific sources? It would greatly help for an article I'm completing
on Griboedov. Thanks.
