   I literally just finished Annie Jacobsen's book 'Biological War: A Scenario' last week where the central plot point is an accidental release of modified form of pneumonic plague from a lab in Siberia. Very coincidental timing, especially since it made me wonder how often labs like these have accidents and we never hear about them because it is cleaned up without issue.

      "The Siberian Incident", "Devil's Pass", "The Siberian Incident", "To The Lake" also all deal with outbreaks of various sorts originating from Siberia. It's a trope.
