Book Description:
There is invariably a ripple of excitement among the passengers on trains traveling through the Urals as they go by a white granite obelisk at the top of the pass through the main divide. On one side is written Europe, on the other Asia this is the boundary of fabulous Siberia. Siberia defies precise definition. Her vast expanses stretch from the Urals to the majestic mountain ranges of the pacific seaboard, from Arctic seas to the sun drenched steppe lands of Mongolia. Immediately beyond the Urals stretches one of the largest plains in the world, the West Siberian Lowland. For many people the very word Siberia evokes all sorts of grim associations. Desolate snowy wastes serving, as a bleak place of exile, a few lonely fur trappers and gold prospectors such is the idea of Siberia that persists in many people's minds. Languishing in the shadow of the imperial eagle, Siberia was a land shrouded in mystery, and mystery is the mother of rumor. Siberia today is a new land full of new ideas and new undertakings.
