Description
Summary:SUMMARY: The island of Sakhalin is one of the latest acquisitions of the Russian Empire and one of the remotest ones as well. Uliannikova’s essay explores the issue of regional identity in Sakhalin through the last century, focusing upon the status of the island as the site of forced labor and the extreme feelings of isolation felt by the islanders. The cult of Anton Chekhov, who visited the island and left a vivid description of its customs, serves, according to the author, as the link that connects the island with the outer world.
