Kremlin Regime give nothing to Siberia, except stealing of natural resources, thousands of villages or cities are already death, the people are either unemployment or alcoholic or drug addict.All treasures of Siberia are stolen by Oligarchs, Kremlin and Mafia, money is already stashed away in the Western banks.

But you do post it quite often, so I am trying to understand what's the message that you are trying to bring across. After all people usually start new threads for discussions, not hoping that they'd be buried the next day, isn't it?

Well the mafia sold Alaska to the US for $1 million (!) so it wouldn't surprise me if they sold Siberia too.

How do you explain the Kuril Islands, which Russia occupies and Japan wants it back.

The disagreement over the southern Kuril islands, known in Japan as the northern territories, has long been a sticking point between the two countries. It also kept the two countries from signing a peace treaty ending their second world war hostilities.

Medvedev told cabinet ministers that Russia must strengthen its presence there and that the new weapons would protect the islands as an "inalienable part of Russia".

Japan and China are next door neighbor, it makes sense to me.

I'd also expect Los Angeles people to visit Mexico more often than they'd go to Boston.

And the US does not help its states (see Louisianna and California).
We need to mind our own business and stay out of other's sovereign domains.

Moscow To Take Siberian Identity Into Account In Nationality Policy, United Russia Deputy Says

It's very much a strictly domestic issue at this point, so it's no surprise that there isn't much reporting of it in non-Russian, English-language media. There are other sources out there, but it's not generally something that'll just pop up on the google news reader for the average north american internet user.

Anyhow, I doubt Siberia will be sold/taken away as stated, but I do think there can and will be unrest if the Russian kleptocracy continues as is. However, I have doubts that it will continue that way.

Nonsense, Siberians are Russians, except some minorities, which also think of themselves as Russians and are very russified.

Siberia is to Russia what the mid-west is to the US, a more sparcely populated area with some tougher people and worse roads, but they are still Russians/Americans.
