Product Description
Stressing the relationship between tsarism's service-state ethos and its utilization of subjects, this study argues that economic and political, rather than judicial or penological, factors primarily conditioned Siberian exile's growth and development.

Exile to Siberia an incisive, far-reaching study of early Russian penal system August 6, 2008
Exile to Siberia, 1590-1822: Corporeal Commodification and Administrative Systematization in Russia, by Andrew A. Gentes, is a deeply-researched account of a topic little known to the Western world, the Siberian penal system as administrated by the Tsarist regime from the 16th through the 19th centuries. The book, the first in a proposed trilogy, details for the first time many events and characters that went into the shaping of that system. Gentes has drawn heavily on Russian-language accounts and information he gleaned from the Chekhov Archives, which detailed that author's visit to the prison colony on Sakhalin in the latter part of the 19th century, as well as myriad other sources.
