Siberia has had an interesting history, quite distinct from that of Russia. Providing a comprehensive history of Siberia since the earliest times, this book covers various periods of Siberia's history.

Siberia has had an interesting history, quite distinct from that of Russia. Absolutely vast, containing many non-Russian nationalities, and increasingly important at present because of its huge energy reserves, Siberia was at one time part of the Mongol Empire, was settled relatively late by the Russians, and was for a long period a wild frontier zone, similar to the American West. Providing a comprehensive history of Siberia from the very earliest times to the present, Naumov covers every period of Siberia's history in an accessible way.
