Аннотация: Scientific and popular science notes of the first researchers of Siberia contain descriptions of not only natural processes and phenomena, but also the material and spiritual aspects of human activity. After a long break in Russian geography, which for a long time showed a tendency to oppose the artificial (cultural) and the naturaПоказать полностьюl, attempts are being made to integrate the geographical representations of natural science and humanitarian disciplines. The territory of Siberia is an excellent proving ground for retrospective and prospective reflection and application of geographical thought. The first aim of this chapter is the submission of the current state of knowledge concerning the conceptualization of Siberian space within the landscape paradigm. The second aim is to consider the main highlights of the Siberian environment in the context of perception by local and external people. So, when dividing Siberia into regions that differ in peculiarities of human interaction with the original natural landscape, it was concluded that, along with the physiographic regionalization, it is advisable to take into account the basin organization of the territory. River valleys often play a crucial role in the development of the territory, and basin boundaries, especially in the mountains, are often difficult-to-overcome barriers. Cryosophy, a system of ideas about the cold world and its role in the genesis and evolution of material–energy interactions in the origin and maintenance of life, about the development based on the created system of knowledge about the universe and the formation of the guidelines for multidisciplinary research of living and inert matter of the universe, was formed on the material of Siberia, the main part of which is located in the cryolithozone. In contrast to traditional judgments about Siberia as a periphery (a remote, hard-to-reach, wild, rich in resources, but impoverished region), ideas about the centricity of Siberia are being developed, where this region is regarded as a zone of common interests, a significant part of the Ecumene. Thanks to Siberia, Russia is a great Eurasian power
