The fact that the Pole and above all the exiled ones made a great contribution to the XIX – early XX century development in Siberia has been pointed out more than once in the historical literature. At the same time this theme appears to be more studied concerning Eastern Siberia, obviously due to the fact that such well-known scientists of Polish origin as B. Pilsudsky, Yan Chersky, B. Dybovsky, V. Seroshevsky and others worked in Eastern Siberia. Having analyzed the materials of regional, that is of Western Siberia encyclopedias and dictionaries published in recent years the author of the article has made up a list of cultural and academic figures of Polish origin who lived (either permanently or on exile) or visited Western Siberia with expeditions in XIX – early XX centuries. All in all the materials of 14 encyclopedias and reference books have been studied. There are 54 persons in the list. Every one of them made contribution to the development of science and culture of Western Siberia. The list comprises prominent scientists (Yan Chersky, professors S. Zalessky, P. Burzhinsky, etc.), painters (M. Vrubel, K. Zelenevsky, etc.), architects (V. Orzheshko, I. Nosovich, etc.), writers and poets (G. Zelinsky, A. Yanushkevich, etc.), medical men ( F. Orzheshko, V. Pirussky, etc.), prominent officials who made for the development of culture and medicine in the region (Artsimovich, Despot-Zenovich, Kublitsky-Piottukh, etc.). The article shows the correlation of the exiled, the exiled descendants and the people who voluntary came to Siberia or were here in service. It is clear that the given list is not exhaustive, nevertheless it allows to speak about the contribution of the Pole to various branches of science and culture in Western Siberia, and at the same time aims investigators at further study of the theme.
