"I went to Russia to study the workings of a penal system, to make the acquaintance of exiles, outcasts and criminals, and to ascertain how the government treats its enemies in the prisons and mines of Eastern Siberia." George Kennan sailed from New York in May 1885 on a Siberian expedition on behalf of The Century Magazine; he returned sixteen months later and wrote the extraordinary exposee of the Siberian system.
