Book Descriptions:
Between 1823 and 1861, 300,000 Russian subjects were deported to Siberia. The tsarist government not only perpetuated an already two centuries' long tradition of using Siberia as an enormous prison, but expanded upon it. Why it did so, despite numerous reports that exile was proving disastrous to this increasingly important region, is explained here. Half of those deported were removed by administrative procedures that bypassed the judiciary. Serf owners as well as peasant assemblies used exile to rid themselves of the elderly and the mentally and physically disabled, to the extent that Siberia also became an enormous almshouse. Furthermore, it served as destination for Russia's fledgling number of political dissidents—most notably the Decembrists, Petrashevists, and Polish nationalists. Theirs and others' stories of physical and psychological suffering, which nonetheless often involved heroism and personal resurrection, are recounted in this all-embracing political, social, and cultural history of tsarist Siberian exile.
