5. Translate into English:

В XVII веке русские цари ничего не знали о восточных границах своих владений. Чтобы получить больше информации, они отправляли на Дальний Восток экспедиции. В состав экспедиций входили в основном казаки и охотники. Они шли на восток не из-за денежного вознаграждения или отреза ткани, в качестве подарка. Желание узнать и увидеть что-то новое, было для них главным.

В те времена дальневосточная земля называлась Даурией. Во время экспедиций исследователи изучали земли и жизнь местных народов. Они составляли карты и описания земель. Такие путешествия были очень трудными, т.к. места были незнакомыми, климат суровым, а местное население было агрессивно настроено против русских, т.к. они силой заставляли аборигенов принять русское подданство и платить дань.

Путешественники двигались, в основном, на лодках по рекам. По суше летом двигались на лошадях, а зимой на собаках. Иногда, чтобы пересечь сушу и горные хребты им приходилось тащить лодки волоком. Но усилия первооткрывателей были не напрасны, т.к. каждый из них открывал что-то новое и вписывал свое имя в страницы истории не только Дальнего Востока, но и России.
