The Great Siberian Route, as one Russian historian defined it, played a major role in the fate of Russia. It was largely due to the route latitudinally connecting Northern Eurasia that Russia was formed and grew stronger (KYZLASOV IGOR. 2007: 63).
The latitudinal route, which generally passed through the steppe and the border of the forest zone, acquired a decisive significance for the entire subsequent history of pan-Eurasian cultural and political ties from the moment wheeled carts and riding horses appeared. Science still has to find out the periodicity and intensity of its action at different historical stages, to determine the main routes and branches, which over time increasingly covered both steppe and taiga spaces (Ibid).
It turned out to be the backbone that created and still holds the heroic body of Russia. It was and will remain the Eurasian scales of its history (Ibid: 67).
I did not set such a task, but due to the internal logic of my research, I came to the result from which it follows that Russians, thanks to fate, should know the discoverers of this path, but they were by no means their compatriots. Opening of the Great Siberian Route by Valentyn Stetsyuk
