Description
Collating the research of Western and Soviet historians, this book examines the various ways in which the development of Siberia has been inextricably linked with the historical evolution of the Russian Empire as a whole. Among the topics discussed are Russia's early conquest, exploration and the colonial administration of Siberia and its indigenous peoples; the fate of Russian America; peasant migration and settlement; Siberia's role as a penal colony and its part in the Russian Revolution and Civil War. A final chapter evaluates Siberia's role in the 20th century.
