In 1881, after the assassination of Alexander II, a large
number of Revolutionaries were exiled to the mines of
Trans-Baikál. Coupled with the fact that a large number
of Revolutionaries or Nihilists of the events of 1878-79
were also in the region gave Kennan the spur to study the
Siberia and its imported inhabitants. As he says in his
preface “to the average American... it was almost as much
aterra incognita as central Africa or Tibet.” He lived for
two and a half years there and travelled extensively with a
letter of authority from the Minister of the Interior without
which, hinderance from Police and Local Officials would
have made his investigation impossible. He states that he
was well disposed towards the Russian State, but from his
account he has much sympathy with the exiles and their
oppression.
