About This Book

The author records a first-person account of travel across Siberia during the chaotic postwar period, combining railway and horseback journeys, encounters with peasants, soldiers, political factions, and occupying forces, and visits to prisons, convicts’ settlements, and famine-stricken districts. He describes harsh climate and logistical challenges, the disruptive effects of revolution and Bolshevism on everyday life, the presence of foreign military and diplomatic actors, and regional strongmen. Episodic narrative, descriptive sketches, photographs, and editorial reflections are used to convey conditions on the ground and to argue for clearer policy and better understanding of the region.
