By the way, it seems for me that "revolution" in Ursus won't be October revolution, but instead more simillar to Decembrist revolt.
The leader of Gryphsburg revolutionary group that USSG is supporting is Petrashevsky. Irl Petrashevsky was the leader of utopian socialist group together with Dostoevsky and other Russian philosophers/writers.
Petrashevsky circle tried to influence St. Petersburg students, nobles and bourgeoisie to build a narrative inside the capital that Russian empire needs to change. They advocated the abolition of serfdom and lessening of the censorship.
They were sentenced to mock execution (they didn't know it was a mock execution and thought they'd be executed for real) and were exiled to Siberia for 6 years afterwards.
ch16 implies that the potential miner/infected revolt will be orchestrated by Koschey (again), while the "authentic" revolt is led by Gryphsburg nobility and students.
