 Vasily Surikov - Rarities of Russian fine art
In the picture "Menshikov in Berezovo" (1883) Surikov continues to reflect on the tragic dialectics of history, turning to the figure of the "half-sovereign lord", Alexander Menshikov, who was removed from high office after Peter's death and exiled together with his children to the depths of Siberia.
Surikov treats the history of the schism not as a dis-pute over church ritual, but as the tragic contradictions in the fate of the nation's soul, the different facets of which are embodied in the numerous figures on the canvas.
Surikov's compassion and breadth of outlook are vividly expressed also in the fine works which he produced during his travels round Europe ("Scene from a Rornan Carnival", 1884).

 essay, page 9
The popularity of the Petrine era in late 19th century Russian art is explained by the fact that the reforms of Alexander II of 1860's-70's, such as the already mentioned emancipation of the serfs, were associated with Peter's reforms almost two centuries earlier.
Surikov's style is a unique stylistic combination of monumental Western European painters like Michelangelo, Titian, and Tintoretto with a traditionally Byzantine color scheme of rich browns, sombre reds, clear yellows, and its strong decorative surface rhythm.
Surikov's Morning of the Execution of Streltsy depicts a large group of these condemned men and their families, as the former are being led away one by one, and as Peter watches from the sidelines.

Petersburg under Ivan Kramskoi, G.G. Myasoedov, Nikolai Ge and Vasily Perov's initiative during a struggle of the avant-garde art forces of the country for democratic ideals, and in a counterbalance to the official center of art — the St.Petersburg Academy of Arts.

Vasily Perov (1834-82) was a Moscow painter, and thus worked in an atmosphere that was freer and less bureaucratic than the Petersburg Academy.
Surikov drenches his paintings with the hues of Old Muscovy, and in so doing lulled the authorities into admiring his canvasses, even as he was criticizing current injustices.

 History of Siberia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The shores of all the Siberian lakes which filled the depressions during the Lacustrine period abound in remains dating from the Neolithic age; and numberless kurgans (tumuli), furnaces and so on bear witness to a much denser population than the present.
Although the Arctic Ocean had been reached as early as the first half of the 17th century, the exploration of its coasts by a series of expeditions under Dmitry Ovtsyn, Fyodor Minin, Vasili Pronchishchev, Lasinius and Laptev—whose labours constitute a brilliant page in the annals of geographical discovery—was begun only in the 18th century (1735–1739).
The Trans-Siberian railway, constructed from 1891—1905, linked Siberia more closely into the rapidly-industrialising Russia of Nicholas II and served as a means of defending Russia's Far East interests from British forces[4].
