The American journalist George Kennan (1854-1924) spent many years
travelling in and writing about Russia. After the assassination of
Tsar Alexander II in 1881, Kennan wanted to go to Siberia to
examine the penal system and the punishment of political exiles. In
this unflinching account, published in two volumes in 1891, Kennan
gives vivid descriptions, accompanied by extensive illustrations of
the prisons and labour camps and the harsh lives of the people
forced to live there. This journey also led to a personal
transformation for Kennan himself - he started out as a supporter
of the tsarist government but when he returned to the United
States, he had become an advocate of political revolution in
Russia. In Volume 2, he travels to the infamous convict mines of
the Trans-Baikal region, and also discusses the extensive police
surveillance system he observed while in Russia.

Tyumen, where everyone banished to Siberia was forced to stay
before redeployment, and he later speaks to some political exiles.
