死屋：沙皇统治时期的西伯利亚流放制度
(uk) Daniel Beale
Siberia is known as the "big prison without a roof." From the early 19th century until the Russian Revolution, the tsarist regime exiled more than 1 million prisoners and their families to Siberia east of the Ural Mountains. This book vividly portrays the history of common criminals and political radicals, the victims of serfdom and village politics, the wives and children who followed their husbands and fathers, and the history of fugitives and bounty hunters. Drawing on a wealth of previously unknown primary sources from European Russian and Siberian archives, this book tells the story of Tsarist Russia's struggle to govern its horrific penal colonies and Siberia's significant influence on political power in the modern world.
