Just so you know: 1. Vladivostok is located in the Far East, quite close to China. 2. Mentioned above Yakutsk is located in the Far East, as well as Kamchatka or whatever. 3. You know, there is a huge region called the Far East, and it is NOT a part of Siberia, it's located to the East of Siberia, so I wonder if the European geographical education is that bad? 4. Siberia is not the synonym of the cold. First, it's huge. Second, exactly because of the size, it's rather different.
And piles of other standard stereptypes...
Oh, and yes, Osip Mandelshtam, Solzhenitzyn, the demographics of Siberia, the ethnic peoples living around the Sea of Okhotsk (you see, living in the Far East of Russia, not Siberia) - no more than cheap stereotypes, as the first guest's already said.
Sorry, your blog's really one of the best ones I've ever read. When you know what you're talking about.
