N.M. Yadrintsev's Creative Heritage of the Early Years of Exile (1868-1872): on the 180th Anniversary of the Thinker-Publicist's Birth

Abstract

This publication is devoted to the analysis of the creative heritage of N.M. Yadrintsev during his exile in the city of Shenkursk, Arkhangelsk province. The research interest of the authors is mainly focused on the period 1868-1872. Mostly, guided by the materials of letters and memoirs, the shades of the creative heritage of the famous Siberian Philosopher in the early period of exile are detailed. Taking into account the previously conducted research in this field by scholarly historians and philologists, an attempt is made to show the factors and conditions that influenced the ideological and journalistic heritage of N.M. Yadrintsev. The article expresses the idea that the early period of exile was characterized by literary and journalistic work related to topical and mainly general Russian topics. During this period of time, collaborating with the leading publications in the Russian Empire, the Siberian regional expert prepared materials about prison, exile, examined the women's issue and others.
 Ultimately, the authors proceed from the position that the final formation of the worldview guidelines of the famous Siberian took place precisely in the "Shenkur" period.
