Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The eastward movement of Russians into Siberia was encouraged by Russian leaders throughout history, including the Tsars and the authoritarian leaders under the Soviet Union. The Russian government offered incentives, such as land grants and tax breaks, to Russians willing to settle in Siberia. The original inhabitants of Siberia, such as the indigenous peoples, often faced displacement and loss of land as a result of this migration. While the movement has slowed down in modern times, it still continues to some extent.
