A look at the work of Siberian Bridges (formerly Musical Bridges) in the Zabaikalye region of eastern Siberian. "Zabaikalye" translates as "beyond Lake Baikal" and refers to the area east of the lake--a region that was closed for most of the Soviet era. It's sardonic nickname, "City of Exiles," refers to the fact that the Decembrists were sent there following their failed overthrow of the Tsar in 1825 and the many political prisoners sent to the many prison camps in the area. The region is beautiful and welcoming as are the people.
