"Siberia is a big, cold country. There seems no end to the journey. There is little novelty or interest to be seen, but I am experiencing and feeling a lot. I’ve battled with rivers in flood, with cold, unbelievable quagmires, hunger and lack of sleep…Experiences you couldn’t buy in Moscow for a million roubles. You should come to Siberia! Get the courts to exile you here."
Anton Chekhov
