The audiobook “Thickets” by Aleksei Ivanov and Yulia Zaitseva is a documentary continuation of the novel “Tobol.” It is a Bible of Russia’s exploration and settlement of Siberia. It tells how, from the time of Yermak to the time of Peter, Russian Siberia was built—why it was needed for Russia, and what efforts it took to conquer the unknown taiga.
Aleksei Ivanov’s novel “Tobol” tells about the Petrine era in the history of Siberia. The novel has many plot lines. The governor reshapes Siberia from a system of voivodeships into an imperial structure. A master builder raises a Kremlin. A metropolitan searches for an idol in Yermak’s miracle chain mail. A captured Swedish officer secretly draws a map of the Ob. A Bukhara merchant arranges the sale of illegal furs. Runaway Old Believers prepare mass self-immolation. A shaman sends the taiga’s demons at Orthodox missionaries. A Chinese envoy incites the Russians to war with the Dzungars. A ссыльный (exiled) colonel, enchanted by a pagan woman, pursues his sorcerous beloved. The army defends a steppe fortress from nomads. These vivid storylines are built on real events from Siberian history, and many characters are real people, about whom scholarly research exists.
What were they like—Governor Gagarin and the architect Remezov, the metropolitans Philofei and Ioann, the captive Swedes Strahlenberg and Renat, Colonels Novitsky and Bukhgolts, the fiscal Nesterov and the Chinese envoy Tulishen, the noyón Tsérén Dondob and the soldier’s wife Brigitta Zimmer, the shaman Nahrakh Evploiev, and many other heroes of the novel?
That is what “Thickets” by Aleksei Ivanov and Yulia Zaitseva is about.
“Thickets” is the historical foundation of the novel “Tobol.” It also tells how Russian Siberia was created—from the time of Yermak to the time of Peter. It explains why Siberia was needed by Russia and what it cost to conquer the unknown taiga. “Thickets” is a credible account of the daring of land-explorers and the theft of voivodes; of the forgotten cities of Mangazeya and Albazino; of idols and shamanism; of wars with outsiders and Cossack rebellions; of furs and grave gold; of Siberian saints and Archpriest Avvakum; of service people and exiled insurgents; of mammoths and the first naturalists. Siberian history is full of passions, greed, and self-sacrifice. And you should know it simply because we are Russians.
