Abstract
The article examines the activities of A. D. Goremykin as Governor General of the Irkutsk Governorate. The authors paid attention to the analysis of his relations with the scientific and cultural intelligentsia of the province. Multidirectional political views of the governor have been considered through the prism of social conflicts with the representatives of the Siberian regionalism. The article focuses on the memoirs of the contemporaries with first-hand knowledge of A. D. Goremykin’s activities. The authors considered the approach of the governor in solving acute social issues concerning the life of political exiles. A liberal aspect of the political activity of the governor making his decisions with understanding of the realities of the Siberian socio-economic situation has been highlighted. The analysis of the personality of A. D. Goremykin shows a pragmatic politician with a balanced approach to solving socio-political problems of the region rather than the reformer of Siberia with imperial ambitions.
