The main stages in the evolution of the image of a notable Russian entrepreneur, explorer of the European and Siberian North of Russia, and an enthusiast for establishing the sea route to Siberia, Mikhail Konstantinovich Sidorov (1823–1887) in historiography, memoirs, popular science and general fiction, and in the media, are reconstructed.
