Book Synopsis Exile, Murder and Madness in Siberia, 1823-61 by : Andrew A. Gentes
Book excerpt: Despite reports of exile proving disastrous to the region, 300,000 Russian subjects, from political dissidents to the elderly and mentally disabled, were deported to Siberia from 1823-61. Their stories of physical and psychological suffering, heroism and personal resurrection, are recounted in this compelling history of tsarist Siberian exile.
