The actualization in modern conditions of the topic of representation of agrarian development and prospects of Siberia is associated with the need to create and study in detail the geopolitical images of the regions, considered as a necessary condition for successful political, economic and cultural decisions. Using the traditional principles and methods of positivism, on the basis of extensive factual material, the features of the formation of the image of Siberia are highlighted. Guidebooks to the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition of 1939-1941, which were not involved in domestic research on the history of Siberia of the Soviet period, are introduced into scientific circulation. It is shown that the main attention was paid to the forms and mechanisms of agrarian modernization. The early experience of Soviet modernity in the agricultural sphere was presented as a well-built system, the main blocks of which were collective management, technization, the development of science, new forms of labor organization, the development of new lands and the introduction of crops atypical for the region. A feature of the cultural and educational presentation of the project for the development of new lands of Siberia in the 30s of the 20th century was an organic interweaving of this topic into the general context of increasing efficiency in all branches of agriculture. The strategic goals and the all-Union significance of the changes were closely related to the improvement of the quality of life of the peasants. The representative series of the content of the expositions reflected the main provisions of the current scientific discourse. Artifacts and natural facts of the object-spatial environment created with the help of traditional genres of artistic culture and new technical means formed a vivid artistic image that provided a prolonged emotional effect. The communicative and educational components were provided by the methods of infotainment and sainstainment as the main ways of informing.
