Siberia
Siberia ( ; rus, Сибирь, r=Sibir', p=sʲɪˈbʲirʲ, a=Ru-Сибирь.ogg) is an extensive geographical region, constituting all of North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has been a part of Russia since the latter half of the 16th century, after the Russians conquered lands east of the Ural Mountains. Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, covering an area of over , but home to merely one-fifth of Russia's population. Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Omsk are the largest cities in the region. Because Siberia is a geographic and historic region and not a political entity, there is no single precise definition of its territorial borders. Traditionally, Siberia extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and includes most of the drainage basin of the Arctic Ocean. The river Yenisey divides Siberia into two parts, Western and Eastern. Siberia stretches southwards from the Arctic Ocean to the hills ...

Novosibirsk Rail Bridge

It is believed that the decision to start the bridge construction near the village of Krivoschekovo (russian: Кривощёково) led to the foundation of Novosibirsk. Selecting a place to cross the Ob River Choosing a building location for the future bridge has proven to be a difficult task. According to the original plan, the railway line was expected to be routed through the town of Tomsk. This entailed the construction of the bridge about 55 km west of Tomsk, at the place where the Ob has always swollen with spring meltwater. It was not suitable for construction and meant that a new location needed to be chosen. This work is generally understood to be done by Nikolai Garin ...
