Content:
This is the first work to address the whole span - chronologically and thematically - of the development of Siberia and its role in both a Russian and global context. It is also the first work to present history from the view of Siberians themselves. Beautifully written, this book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Russia and Siberia
