Russia gained control of the region of Siberia and the Urals Mountains in the 16th century, developing the area into a primarily agricultural region. The area had limited industrialization and influence from the intelligentsia, halting their ability to gain more political autonomy. The region was also used as a place of exile for Russia's political extremists, such as Dostoyevsky, during the Russian Civil War. Siberia and Urals played a key role in the Russian Civil War, with many forces from both sides of the war setting up bases in the region. Siberia & Urals provide a rich insight into Russian history throughout the centuries of Russian control, making this note an extremely interesting piece to add to a collection!
