Siberia, Siberia... Rasputin V.G.

Is it true that Siberia belongs to one Russia? And is it not time for Russia to share or at all, like Alaska once, to give in to America this richest and still not fully explored land? Today it is difficult to believe in it, but at the end of the twentieth century this stunning question seriously stood almost on the agenda in the circle of the so -called civilized world powers. And to this day, predators flies to Siberia from all sides. And not one century Siberia proved that it was not a Russian colony, but an integral and eternal part of it, which has repeatedly saved and strengthened the power and glory of Russia.

This book of essays Valentin Rasputin is a tribute to his native land, his Beauty and identity, a deep reflection on the past, present and future of Siberia.

The texts (except for the essays “Trans -Siberian” and “Circum”) are printed in early editions.
