Culture is traditionally connected with a specific place. When we speak of Estonian culture, we usually mean the culture that is practised in Estonia. Culture presumes the environment and although in principle such environment could be artificial or virtual, we are not independent enough from real living space to create an absolutely independent culture in this virtual world. This is because in order to create worlds we need archetypes, athough in some cases their influence has diminished after multiple copying. Estonian culture is associated with Estonia. An important source for Estonian culture is the nature of Estonia. Patriotic poems from the time of the national awakening cherished the homeland’s nature, filling it with a profound symbolic content. Nature denoted the historical experience of Estonians – natural objects as markers of space, rivers, lakes, hills and landscapes carried deep meaning, evidenced centuries-long existence in the specific area. Yet it would be wrong to associate Estonian culture with Estonia only, because since the mid-19th century Estonians have, time and again, moved to different corners of the world, where Estonian culture developed further, despite being far from its historical homeland. Leaving their home area did not mean becoming independent from that environment: the alternative to an environment is just another environment. Like Estonia provided material and conditions for the development of the homeland culture, so did the destination country’s environment for the culture of the diaspora. The nature of the new homeland had a significant role in adaptation. In the following we shall observe the relationship of Siberian Estonians with their natural environment. We shall study the relations between the activities in the landscape and the environmental conditions. Not only the living space and what is going on there describes people’s relationships with the environment, but also the
