Tell me about Russia east of Urals mountains Veeky Forums (AKA Mordor)...

is this a proposed high speed rail map? i approve

Turkomongol khanates and finnic tribes that were owned and culturally genocided by Russia

just like t rest of the country: a shitheap

It must be kinda comfy living out there if you're used to it.

It'd be incredibly useless though

Cultural and linguistic genocide and general ongoing russification.

>High speed rail from China to America
>Useless
What?

Do you realize just how fucking far out of the way that rail goes? Do you have any idea how much money would go into the infrastructure just from repairs alone? Even at the breakneck speeds that modern rail is capable, you're far better off shipping by plane or by sea.

Yeah it costs about $1,000-2,000 to ship a standard 40 foot cargo container from China to LA. And for anything time sensitive it's around $6 US per kg for air freight.

>Oppression of Indigenous peoples of Northern Siberia started to reach its first high point in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was during this time that the indigenous leaders began to loose their power and become puppets of the Russian nation. These leaders became intermediaries between the natives and the Russian state. Because attention at this time was moving towards religious affairs within the tribal communities, many of these new intermediary leaders were shamans. By the nineteenth century, a statute was enforced combining local law and Russian civil law into a single system. The Russians were able to enforce this by giving power to, and legitimizing indigenous leaders within the law system of the state. This made it possible for the Russians to monitor and control those leaders actions, and therefore manipulate the entire native community into operating under the state law.

>Cultural and linguistic genocide
Literally worse than Hitler.

Basically like the American wild west, except grim and cold because it's Russia.

It's actually much more similar to Northern Canada than to American wild west.

>promotes an expensive as fuck infrastructure project through some of the harshest terrain which takes you 2.5 fucking days out of the way assuming you move at top speed the entire time (brotip: you can't)
>calls others ignorant
O boi am i laffin. It isn't anywhere near the cost.

Nothing interesting so far.
