The Works by M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin in the Libraries of Siberia and the Far East in the Late XIX – Early XX Centuries (on the 200^th Anniversary of the Writer's Birth)

The goal of the study to recreate the picture of the presence of SaltykovShchedrin’s works in the funds of Siberian and Far Eastern libraries in the late XIX–early XX centuries. Its tasks are: counting the number of volumes with the writer's works and reconstructing the repertoire of his literary work in the libraries of the region in the pre-revolutionary period. The article presents data on 39 libraries operating in 19 cities of Siberia and the Far East – provincial, regional and county centers. The source base consists on 67 printed library catalogs. On their basis the absence of his works in 5 libraries and the presence in 34 ones are established. The main part of the first group is free people's libraries, the second one are public libraries. For the first time, quantitative indicators of the presence of the writer's works in them are calculated and analyzed. Their funds have included most of the famous works of this author. Most often, they have included editions of individual works and the 12-volume "Complete Works" for different years, repeatedly reprinted by A. F. Marx in St. Petersburg. These data complement previously identified information about the funds of pre-revolutionary libraries of various types in the region, enrich the picture of the development of librarianship with new facts.
