1. Nikolay Nikolaevich Karazin: A 19th-century Russian artist whose works chronicled the history and daily life of Siberia. From the rebellion of Pugachev in Siberia and the defeat of the Impostor's mob near Troitsk (May 21, 1774), to the Military Settlement Service of the Siberian Cossacks welcoming the authorities, Karazin's paintings offer a glimpse into the past. 2. Surveying coastal wetlands and leading a raid on a settlement, Karazin's works depict the challenges and triumphs of life in Siberia during the 19th century. His painting "A Battle" captures the intensity and chaos of military engagements, while "Troops Buried by a Snowstorm" portrays the harsh realities of the Siberian climate. 3.
