My wife and I crossed Russia and Siberia (No, they're not quite two different countries -- yet.) by plane to Novisibirsk and then the train several days to the coast, and we had the chance to chat with two of our guides.
One, a young woman from Intourist, back in the west, took us around a museum and invited us to hate on photographs of ugly subhuman Chinese on its walls; she seemed genuinely puzzled that we didn't guy her shtick.
The other, an older man who had served in the Army during WWII, but apparently without quite enough servitude, told us how much he loved life in Siberia. The pay -- back in Soviet days, anyway -- was high, and you could go hunting and put meat on the table just walking distance out of town. Best of all, he told us with a smile, "They can't send you to Siberia."
