Siberia
Larger in area than the United States and Europe combined, Siberia is a land of extremes, not merely in terms of climate and expanse, but in the many kinds of lives its population has led over the course of four centuries. Janet M. Hartley explores the history of this vast Russian wasteland—whose very name is a common euphemism for remote bleakness and exile—through the lives of the people who settled there, either willingly, desperately, or as p…
Nancy Shields Kollmann. The Russian Empire, 1450–1801
How was Russia—not blessed by a favorable climate, by dense population, or by easily accessible industrial resources, and without what are normally regarded as “modern” attributes of political and fiscal structures and social organization—able to acquire and then control an enormous and ethnically diverse land empire between the second half of the fifteenth and the end of the eighteenth century? Nancy Shields Kollmann uses the model of “empire of…

The Russo-Turkish War, 1768–1774
Brian Davies has already become a recognised expert in the military history of Russia before the reign of Peter the Great, having published extensively on steppe warfare before 1700 and on the establishment of a Russian military and administrative presence on the southern borderlands in the seventeenth century. He is now establishing his reputation as an eighteenth-century Russian military specialist with a particular focus on warfare in the sout…
War, Economy and Utopianism
The Napoleonic Wars transformed the status of the Russian Empire within Europe. At the beginning of the campaigns the perception of the other major European powers was that Russia was not capable of inflicting a major defeat on Napoleon without allied support. Alexander I was humiliated at the Battle of Austerlitz on 2 December 1805, and almost suffered the indignity of being captured. Following a further defeat at the Battle of Friedland in June…

Cossacks and Conquest
Early Settlers
This chapter considers the early settlers who came to Siberia in the seventeenth century and their reasons for doing so. Cossacks and hunters were the first ones to arrive in Siberia from European Russia. They were soon followed by other soldiers and officials as the Russian government tried to establish at least a tenuous presence in this vast region. Peasants soon outnumbered other groups of settlers during the seventeenth century.
Explorers and Imperialists
The frontiers of Siberia expanded in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This chapter considers the men who made this possible and the consequences of this expansion. The first expedition of Danish seafarer Vitus Bering (1728–30) sailed from the Kamchatka peninsula up the north coast of Siberia, charting the coastline and the mouths of the rivers. The second Bering expedition (1733–43) was an ambitious attempt to chart the whole Arctic coast…
Land, Indigenous Peoples and Communications
This chapter looks at the lands of Siberia and the indigenous peoples who were conquered. It also discusses the difficulties of communication over such vast distances and inhospitable lands. Siberia stretches from the Ural mountains to the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Strait in the east, and reaches from north of the Kazakh Steppe to the Arctic Ocean. It covers some 2,900,000 square miles (some 7,500,000 square kilometers), and crosses eight time…
A Land of Limitless Possibilities”
This article looks at the prospects and the reality of British commercial activity in Siberia in the early twentieth century, before the outbreak of World War I, and is based on contemporary comments by travelers, businessmen, and commercial agents. Contemporaries agreed that the dynamic Siberian economy opened up opportunities for British exports and trade. British firms, however, lagged behind commercial rivals, in particular in Germany, and th…
