CHAPTER III.
IN THE HEART OF SIBERIA.
The Press in Siberia—Robberies and Murders—The “Podsnièshniks”—The
Ob Bridge—Poskotina and Zaimki—Development of the
Communal System—The New-comer and the old Settler—We reach
Tomsk.
At Omsk I got the first fresh newspaper, “Stepnoi
Krai” (The Steppe-Region), published the previous day in
Omsk, and also a number of older Siberian journals. At
once I laid aside my old papers from Moscow and St.
Petersburg, eager to see what my new acquaintances were like.
The position of the press in Russia is not enviable, and it
is still less so in Siberia. The starting of a newspaper in
this latter country is connected with so many formalities
and difficulties that a western editor would hang himself
in despair before he had gone through half of them and
had time to begin to think of editing the first number.
And having got so far, he would be only at the beginning
of his tribulations. For the Siberian newspapers are
subjected not only to the “general censure,” but also to the
“local censure,” which is under the control of the respective
governors. And this purgatory is a hot one. Not one
article, not one notice, nay, not even the advertisements
