Abstract
THIS is a charming book of travel on a very interesting but seldom visited country—the far north-east of Siberia. One has to travel for a month from Verkhoyansk, “the pole of cold,” situated on the Upper Yana River, to reach Sredne-Kolymsk, the queen of the country, consisting of twenty or thirty little fiat-roofed loghuts scattered about on the left bank of the Kolyma. In this town the author was interned, by the Ministry of the Interior, in company with a dozen comrade students involved in “political disorders,” and he stayed there four years.
