Abstract
The article analyzes how the modern science fiction (the genres of anti-utopia and post-apocalypse) interprets the image of Siberia and predicts the fate of Siberia. In studied works of literature an attention is paid to such real features of this region as geographical distance from the center, low population, low development of the territory, the relativity of civilizational penetration into remote areas of Siberia, poor climate. The geographical proximity to China and the presence of a significant amount of Chinese immigrants in current Siberia are the basis of assumptions of writers about the Chinese expansion. Geographical remoteness from the center encourages to fantasize about the separation of Siberia into a special state. Positive predictions of Siberia development in the case of global cataclysms prevail: the writers suggest that the climate of Siberia will improve, that the geographical remoteness from Europe will save Siberia from negative technological and political exposures. Belief in the power of Siberia prevails in the fantastic assumptions of modern Russian writers.
