The story of a Finnish journalist who went for a year to the coldest region of Russia—Yakutia. Jussi Konttinen and his family lived for a year in a Yakutian village, surrounded by permafrost. He survived a harsh winter, learned to drive a UAZ, and found out what it’s like to live in Siberia. In the book, Jussi tells about life in the village, about the people, the country’s natural riches, and raises questions of economics and culture not only of Siberia, but of Russia as a whole. “Siberia Will Teach” is a unique set of observations by a Finnish journalist, a global study of the character of the Russian North, and a complete immersion in Yakut life.
