G.N.Potanin (1835-1920) is one of the brightest and most contradictive figures of pre-revolutionary Siberia. Authors of the book acquaint the reader with the contribution of the eminent geographer, traveler, specialist in folklore and publicist to the development of science as well as with his world outlook and destiny. At that, the attempt to reconstruct the background of social and scientific life in Siberia of the early XXth century is made.
