Settlers from Belarus early in the Yenisei Province: the Imperial Strategy and the Siberian Reality of the twentieth century

Abstract

The article is based on archival and published sources on a specific example of settlers of the early twentieth century. People from Belorussia are considering the mechanisms of formation of the permanent population of Siberia in the late imperial period. Migration was the basis of its voluntary, mainly peasant population, organized and encouraged by the state. It acquired a particularly mass character during the period of the Stolypin agrarian reform.
