Wide and free, the vast landmass of
Siberia lies behind the Ural mountains. For many centuries, not only
for foreign travelers but also for Russians themselves, Siberia seemed
to be "unknown territory", unsafe and barbaric. And even now, some visitors from foreign countries still seem to regard our land as a god-forsaken hole or "the gigantic building site of the century." And so Irkutsk opens up to them even more brightly and suddenly the richness of its spirit and culture, which have developed under enormous difficulties and hardships for more than three centuries. And there are many things to be astonished at.

Sep 12, 2001 The Irkutsk Regional police headquarters has called on the population of the Region to step up vigilance. The local residents who have witnessed three major air crashes on their territory over the past few years commiserate with the Americans. The Regional legislature said in a statement published on Wednesday: "We understand and take close to our hearts the pain, the grief and the suffering of thousands of innocent families." |
