Six years ago, I had the chance to visit and study two amazing #permafrost outcrops in #Siberia, i.e. the #Batagay megaslump and Ulakhan Sular. See impressive drone videos of both sites shot by Alexey Lupachev in July 2023:

More than 25% of the world's forests are in #Siberia.

Today in Labor History August 15, 1918: The American 27th Infantry landed in Vladivostok to join a Japanese-initiated attack against Bolshevist forces. The soldiers suffered from problems with fuel, ammunition, supplies, and food. Their horses, used to temperate climates, couldn’t function in sub-zero Russia. And their water-cooled machine guns froze and became useless. During their 19 months in Siberia, 189 U.S. soldiers died.

Upton Sinclair referenced the Siberian expedition in his novel “Oil!” and blamed capitalist motives for the intervention.

Scientists Resurrect #Extinct Animal Frozen for 46,000yr in #Siberia
The microscopic #nematodes were successfully woken from a state of suspended animation after researchers found them in the permafrost, or frozen soil. #Radiocarbon analysis revealed that they hail from a #prehistoric era when #Neanderthals and dire wolves still roamed the world, and that they belong to a functionally extinct species called Panagrolaimus kolymaensis that was previously unknown to science

If I were the nematode, I'd take a sleeping pill.

After killing millions of Ukrainians by starvation (or murder, or deportation to #Siberia), he moved in Russian settlers to replace them. (This is why eastern Ukraine was Russian speaking, btw). Western Ukraine was a part of Poland then, and they watched in horror as their fellow Ukrainians were starved to death en masse by the Soviets. In 1939 the USSR, along with their ally Nazi Germany, started WWII in Europe by invading #Poland.

"Aquí hemos traducido apresuradamente tres declaraciones de grupos anarquistas rusos. Todos ellos, necesariamente, son grupos clandestinos. El primero tiene su sede en Siberia; la segunda es la Organización de Combate Anarco-Comunista, a la que entrevistamos el año pasado; y el tercero es el colectivo editorial de Avtonom , posiblemente la plataforma editorial anarquista superviviente más importante de Rusia"

Repression against citizens of #Ukraine raising in #Henichesk of the Kherson Region. According to the available information, getting "into the basement" has become many times easier, since local collaborators, wanting to serve themselves before the ROV, constantly slander citizens and conduct groundless inspections. The occupiers also threaten the local population that if they do not have a russian passport, citizens will be forcibly deported to #Siberia

Today in Labor History July 6, 1918: Uprising against the Bolsheviks by the Left Socialist Revolutionary Party (SR) during the Russian Civil War. One of their goals was to restart the war against Germany, which was helping suppress revolutionary activity in neighboring Ukraine and Finland. They also were frustrated by Bolsheviks’ move away from Revolutionary Socialism and toward “opportunistic service to the state." Maria Spiridonova, who spent years in prison under the Czar, and later under the Bolsheviks, was one of the leaders of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries. She was also a member of the Shesterka ("Six")—6 women SR terrorists who were sent to Siberia. The failure of the SR Uprising facilitated the Bolsheviks consolidation of power and contributed to their creation of a one-party state in the USSR.
