Siberia has a special connotation for Estonian people. Due to repression during the Soviet era, Siberia is commonly referred to as the “Cold Country”. Despite this, Siberia has recently become an exotic travel destination.

On the 25th of March of this year, 70 years will have passed since the March Deportation. Estonians who were in Siberia when they were children are the last generation to experience these life-changing events. Some of these Estonians were deported to Siberia in their childhood;  some were born there.
