The History of Siberia (Routledge Studies in the History of Russia and Eastern Europe)

Siberia has had an interesting history, quite distinct from that of Russia. Absolutely vast, containing many non-Russian nationalities, and increasingly important at present because of its huge energy reserves, Siberia was at one time part of the Mongol Empire, was settled relatively late by the Russians, and was for a long period a wild frontier zone, similar to the American West. Providing a comprehensive history of Siberia from the very earliest times to the present, this book covers every period of Siberia's history in an accessible way.

Название "Сибирь" впервые упоминается у иранских авторов XIII века, на карте впервые обозначено как «Sebur» в Каталонском атласе в 1375. В русских летописях XV века Сибирской землёй назывался район в низовьях р. Тобол и по среднему Иртышу.Но геополитическое применение слова «Сибирь» связано обозначением всех территорий, лежащих к востоку от Волги.
