ABSTRACT.<\/strong> In 19th century Russia, there was a growing understanding of the need to develop the country\u2019s transport communications, to create new communication routes between the Central provinces and Siberia, with the aim of strengthening economic ties in the country. Some projects are aimed at building roads running across the country, which will later serve as the basis for the Trans-Siberian Railway. Others, although they are also aimed at developing ties between European Russia and Siberia, have a more local spatial character, organizing transport communications between the Ob and Pechora river basins. Among the second group of projects, there are both those developed on the initiative of government agencies and those presented by private individuals. The vast majority of these projects have not been implemented, but each of them has contributed to the exploration of unexplored territories. Some of these projects are well known, while others have been undeservedly forgotten along with their authors. Among these projects there was the 1867 expedition of the Commission for the Exploration of the Pechora Region, organized at the direction of Prince Gagarin, Governor of Arkhangelsk. In addition to studying the economic conditions on the eastern edge of the Arkhangelsk province, its demographic situation, and the potential for industrial development there, the expedition aimed at exploring the possibility of connecting the Ob and Pechora river basins by water. The expedition\u2019s activities on exploring options for creating a road between the basins of these rivers, is the subject of this article.<\/p>\n
