A World of Empires: The Russian Voyage of the Frigate Pallada by Edyta M. Bojanowska

It was a bit strange to read Goncharov and his Frigate Pallada where he wrote, presumably to do Muravev a favor, that the settlers on the Maya River faced a radiant future once river transport develops and life stirs up. It is truly difficult to suppose that Goncharov could have seriously contemplated some sort of flourishing trade and manufacturing activity in the tundra, where unbearable frosts keep it frozen for ten months out of the year, and where soil never thaws. Luckily, the long-suffering Maya settlers were resettled to the southern Ussuri region in the early 1860s, and the Maya region again became a desert, which by virtue of its geographical location it should remain.
