Description:

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.

Synopsis:

Alan Wood's ambitious work is the first to address the whole span - both chronologically and thematically - of the development of Siberia, and its role in both the Russian and the global context. With a scope that reaches from Muscovy's conquest of Siberia in the 16th and 17th centuries to modern times, it explores the effects of colonial exploitation, the Revolutions of 1917 and developments during the Soviet period. Russia's Frozen Frontier is also the first book to detail the history of Siberia from the view of Siberians themselves - both Russian and native - rather than seen through the lens of Moscow or St Petersburg.
