Larger in area than the United States and Europe combined, Siberia is a land of extremes, not merely in terms of climate and expanse, but in the many kinds of lives its population has led over the course of four centuries. Janet M. Hartley explores the history of this vast Russian wastelandwhose very name is a common euphemism for remote bleakness and exilethrough the lives of the people who settled there, either willingly, desperately, or as prisoners condemned to exile or forced labor in mines or the gulag.From the Cossack adventurers first incursions into Sibir in the late sixteenth century to the exiled criminals and political prisoners of the Soviet era to presentday impoverished Russians and entrepreneurs seeking opportunities in the oilrich north, Hartleys comprehensive history offers a vibrant, profoundly human account of Siberias development. One of the worlds most inhospitable regions is humanized through personal narratives and colorful case studies as ordinaryand extraordinaryeveryday life in the nothingness is presented in rich and fascinating detail.
