Wide and free, the vast landmass of Siberia lies behind the Ural mountains. For many centuries not only for foreign travelers but also for Russian themselves Siberia seemed to be "unknown ground", unsafe and barbaric.
And even now some people who come from far 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 to them even more brightly and suddenly the richness of its spirit and culture, which have been developed under enormous difficulties and hardships for about three centuries. And there are things to be astonished at.
