The Role of P. A. Kropotkin in the Development of Siberian Cartographic Source Studies

Author(s)
A. V. Postnikov, M. V. Konstantinov
Abstract
In a wide range of academic interests and practical activities of P. A. Kropotkin, researchers of his work paid obviously insufficient attention to the issues of cartography and topography. Geographical maps of the Russian scientist-encyclopedist are well known in our country and abroad, their importance for illustrating the main ideas and theories of P. A. Kropotkin has been repeatedly emphasized in the works of historians of science, but his role in the domestic cartography development has never been considered specifically. We have made an attempt to compensate for the noted lacuna to some extent.
