The article analyzes the artistic principles of embodiment of the mythologeme of Siberia in the dilogy of the modern Russian writer A. V. Ivanov “Tobol”. The literary tradition of interpretation of the mythologeme of Siberia has a centuries-old history and is connected with political, territorial and cultural peculiarities of the development of the region. For the Russian mentality, Siberia was thought of as a remote, perishing place, a kind of a branch of hell on earth – mytho-ethical semantics peculiar to “camp prose”. But natural beauties and riches, and then acquaintance with the peoples inhabiting Siberia makes us reconsider our attitude to Siberia. The geopoetics of Siberia takes into account its real geographical position, but is built on the antithesis between the European and local view of the landscape and the potential of the region, collectively named by the writer after the main city of Siberia in the 18th century. Ivanov consistently combines different approaches to the artistic interpretation of Siberia, making us admire its originality without forgetting the brutality of local customs. The key role in the dilogy is played by characters who dream of turning “hellish” Siberia into a paradise on earth, believe in the renewal and revival of this land through such axiological principles as mercy and dialog. The conclusions of the article summarize the geo-ethical, axiological and cultural-historical semantics of the mythologeme of Siberia in the Tobol dilogy
