Abstract

The article deals with Maxim Gorky's connections with Siberia and its  inhabitants until the end of the Russian Civil War (1917-22). From the beginning of his literary career, Gorky often referred to Siberia, its importance and role in the Russian Empire. He was convinced that the activity of the Siberians could stimulate the inhabitants of other Russian regions to act and fight against autocracy. Although he never went beyond the Urals himself, there can be no doubt that Siberia always attracted his attention. The article was based both on Gorky's correspondence with Siberians and on his prose.
