Biography
Alan Wood, at the time of the first publication, was Lecturer in Russian History at Lancaster University, Convenor of the British Universities Siberian Studies Seminar and the founding editor of the journal SIBIRICA.
Review of the first publication:
‘This volume has a number of strengths. The British, Canadian, American and Soviet contributors include senior figures in the field of Siberian studies. Participation of a Novosibirsk historian marks an important step toward further collaborative endeavours with Siberian colleagues. As in any collective work, the style of each chapter varies; none the less the contributions are for the most part well researched, cogently written and meticulously documented.’
— John J. Stephan, European History Quarterly
