Siberians
The Siberians or Siberiaks, (russian: сибиряки, sibiryaki, ) are the majority inhabitants of Siberia, as well as the Sub-ethnic or ethnographic group of the Russians. As demonym The demonym ''Siberian'' can be restricted to either the Russian Siberiaks or the indigenous minority, but it can also refer to any inhabitant of Siberia, irrespective of ethnic or national background. As sub-ethnic group In ethnology the term is often used to refer to the Old-Timers (''Starozhily'' or old settlers ) - the earliest Russian population of Siberia during its Russian conquest in the 16th–17th centuries and their descendants. Later settlers, especially the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries, were called "the Russian" (Siberian dialects: "Raseyskie") by the Siberians. The dialects of the Siberians were formed mainly on the basis of Northern Russian dialects. Ideologues of Siberian regionalism (Siberian nationalism) considered the Siberians to be a separate peo ...

Siberian Regionalism
Siberian regionalism (russian: Сибирское областничество, lit= Siberian oblast movement, translit= Sibirskoye oblastnichestvo) is a political movement that advocates for the formation of an autonomous Siberian state. The idea originated in the mid-19th century and reached a high tide with the White movement military activities of Aleksandr Kolchak (1874–1920) and Viktor Pepelyayev (1885–1920) during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922. Foundations Regionalism and Autonomy Siberian regionalism, according to Susan Smith-Peter, is the first political regionalist movement in a European country. Following the activities of Afanasy Shchapov (1830-1876) in Siberia, a movement advocating a far-ranging autonomy for the region took shape under the name of "regionalism" (''oblastnichestvo''). In the 19th century Siberian students in Saint Petersburg: Grigory Potanin (1835-1920), Nikolay Yadrintsev (1842-1894) and people with other backgrounds founded the mo ...

Kamchadals
The Kamchadals (russian: камчадалы) inhabit Kamchatka, Russia.

Siberian Republic
A Siberian Republic (russian: Сибирская Республика, translit=Sibirskaya Respublika) is an idea of making Siberia an independent republic. The argument for an independent republic is that Siberia makes up 77% of Russian territory (13.1 million square kilometers) which includes around 35% of its population (40 million people). Western Siberia has rich oil and gas reserves, but the taxes go directly to Moscow. Getting extraction companies to pay taxes in the regions where they operate would benefit Siberia. The primary argument against self-determination is that Siberia relies on support from Western Russia for essential goods, such as food and manufactured products. History The idea came about in the mid-19th century and took shape with the military activities of Aleksandr Kolchak and Viktor Pepelyayev during the Russian Civil War. In 1918 two provisional governments were formed, one in Vladivostok and another in Omsk. Both governments merged by the end of t ...

Siberia
Siberia ( ; rus, Сибирь, r=Sibir', p=sʲɪˈbʲirʲ, a=Ru-Сибирь.ogg) is an extensive geographical region, constituting all of North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has been a part of Russia since the latter half of the 16th century, after the Russians conquered lands east of the Ural Mountains. Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, covering an area of over , but home to merely one-fifth of Russia's population. Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Omsk are the largest cities in the region. Because Siberia is a geographic and historic region and not a political entity, there is no single precise definition of its territorial borders. Traditionally, Siberia extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and includes most of the drainage basin of the Arctic Ocean. The river Yenisey divides Siberia into two parts, Western and Eastern. Siberia stretches southwards from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-ce ...
