A review of the collection of memoirs of Benedict Dybovsky, which recreated the events of his stay in Siberian exile after the suppression of the January 1863 uprising in Poland. The author describes in detail his “involuntary journey” from St. Petersburg to Transbaikalia, made as part of the stage party of Polish exiles, recreates paintings of hard labor and everyday life in the settlement. The pages of the diary also tell about the author's scientific research conducted by him in Dauria, the Far East and, of course, on the shores of Lake Baikal in 1864–1877.
