Regionalism and autonomy
Siberian regionalism, according to Susan Smith-Peter, is the first political regionalist movement in a European country. Following the activities of Afanasy Shchapov (1830–1876) in Siberia, a movement advocating a far-ranging autonomy for the region took shape under the name of "regionalism" (oblastnichestvo).
