About the book: 2021 / The book presented to the reader by journalist, writer and professor of EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne) Eric Hoesli combines the professional, living pen of the author and his passion for scientific work. He analyzes in detail and deeply the story, which, in his opinion, surpasses any Western - the great campaign in Siberia and the conquest of the Russian North. Before us is not only the archival pages of this epic - although the factual side of the matter is written very scrupulously and is accompanied by maps and links to archives and documents - but the author’s interest in people: their actions, motives, feelings, ideas and deeds. We can safely call this book special - it presents us with the Siberian epic history with a human face. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
