Yenisei! What Siberian will not be startled when he hears this word. He loves this frantic hero, harsh, mighty, beautiful in his wild beauty, which strikingly sets off the greatness of the taiga, mountains and steppes of Siberia, just as the expanse of the Volga complements and adorns the picture of the immense Russian plain. For that, the Siberian still loves his Yenisei, which he sees on its shores a distance that he had never dreamed of before.
