It's the longest, most expensive and complicated raiIroad ever buiIt. Ordered by the Czar in an effort to save his empire and unify his country at the twilight of the 19th century, the Trans-Siberian RaiIroad nearIy tore Russia apart. lntended in part for defense, the raiIroad provoked a war, crossed great lengths over treacherous terrain, and encountered logisticaI and economic faiIures. Ironically, "enemies of the state" built the railroad--men sentenced to hard labor in Siberian prisons. |
