May 9, 2020 at 21:03 comment added Alex @Pieter Geerkins: The first passage by Northeast route was made in 1878-79 (in two summers, so it took more than a year) and the first passage in one summer in 1932.

Jul 26, 2015 at 7:28 comment added Alex Transsiberian railroad was built in 1891-1916.
Jul 26, 2015 at 7:26 comment added Alex No. Jules Verne novel refers to the end of 19s century, and I refer to the beginning. In the beginning of 19s century there was no railroads in Russia.
Jul 25, 2015 at 21:48 comment added Pieter Geerkens At the point in time you are referring to Jules Verne was conceiving of the novel Around the World in Eighty Days. Travelling end-end of the Russian Empire would not have been much more difficult as that, as it was in large part the same route.
