Examples
This summer, as a haze of wildfire smoke descended on the village of Magaras in the East Siberian region of Yakutia, crews of local residents set out into the taiga forest to defend their land from the encroaching flames.
The town is not much to speak of—a few wooden houses along a snowy road in Taiga, some tiny food stores, a Kavkaz café.
It's like a grave all round you: a vulture crying above, a bear growling in the taiga, and that's all the pleasure you get!
The gale howled round the walls with increasing fury, the taiga groaned more and more sadly.
But Gavronsky suddenly went out to the 'Taiga' on the Yenisei and disappeared.
The country is rocky and mountainous, and the taiga spreads over it in all directions for hundreds and thousands of versts.
Then came the formation called the Taiga, a sort of Arctic moorland, which becomes swampy and dangerous in summer.
