Apologies for misspelling the Countess Annenkov's maiden name. I
attempted Latinizing it phonetically, but upon checking the French
sources it turned out to be spelled "Gueble."

Hi Sara!

One thing that instantly comes to mind, is the memoir of Pauline Gebel,
the French-born wife of the Decembrist Ivan Annenkov, which contains
some information about her travel to Siberia, when she followed him to
katorga. It was published under her Russian name, Praskov'ia Ivanovna
Annenkova (Annenkova P. I. Vospominaniia, Krasnoiarsk, 1977).

There is a website devoted to "sibirskaia zhenskaia memuaristika XIX-go
veka." There are many bibliographic references there. Here's the link,
perhaps you will find something useful there:

See you in Washington,

Dear Alexandra,

Thank you for your help. I'm focusing on the pre-1881 period for the 
moment, but will keep a note about these texts just in case!

Best,
Sara
