Convention series
SibFyr (СибФыр; also styled SibFUR) was a furry camping convention series in Siberia, Russia. WikiFur’s series index records annual editions from 2012 through 2019 and describes the series as defunct; its articles are explicitly uncited, so this archive record is provisional pending stronger organizer records. A public 2012 radio-history entry reports a post-event account of SibFyr 2012. Publicly retrieved source trail: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/SibFyr ; https://ru.wikifur.com/wiki/Субкультурное_радио ; organizer VK group https://vk.com/sibfr .
WikiFur identifies this as the first SibFyr convention, held in Siberia, Russia, in 2012.

WikiFur identifies SibFyr 2013 as the second convention, held in Siberia, Russia. The accessible record gives no exact dates, venue, or program, so this draft records the verified year only. Source: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/SibFyr_2013.
Сибфурренция 2014 (SibFyr 2014) took place August 1–4 on the Ob River shore near Altai Krai, Russia. Its event history reports at least five attendees, organizer-arranged pickup at Barnaul station, camping, shared food, and occasional hail; the precise locality is not available in the sources reviewed.

SibFyr 2018 took place June 27–July 1 at Zapovednik Berdskaya Kosa in Berdsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia. Its event history reports at least 12 participants and two dogs. The organizer’s archived public group separately posted that the 2018 gathering had concluded.

WikiFur identifies the eighth SibFyr as held in Siberia, Russia, in 2019, and Coontail’s convention index records 2019 as the series’ final iteration. A contemporaneous organizer post mirrored in the furry-events Telegram channel announced registration for July 1–7, 2019, under Novosibirsk. I could not recover an accessible post-event organizer or attendee report, so the occurrence is based on the historical chronologies; the announced dates are recorded, while venue and program remain unverified.

A post attributed to the SibFyr organizer group and mirrored in a furry-events Telegram channel announced a planned July 15–19, 2020 camp at Berdskaya Kosa near Novosibirsk, describing outdoor recreation and community activities. The post was conditional on COVID-19 restrictions easing. I found no post-event organizer/attendee evidence, cancellation notice, or later rescheduled date; the event’s occurrence is therefore unverified, and this entry records only its announced plan.

The SibFyr organizers’ archived VK group says the 2017 camp was underway by June 23: an organizer post told arriving participants to contact them at the Morskaya stop because camp had been set up in the forest. A June 25 organizer recap says “Сибфыр 2017 удался” (SibFyr 2017 was a success), describes a tent camp in the forest on the shore of the Ob Reservoir, swimming and outdoor adventures, and reports 15 attendees. An earlier organizer scouting post calls the chosen site Chingisy, about 150 km from Novosibirsk. The June 23–25 date span records the dates anchored by those organizer posts; no exact daily program or address is stated.
