Annotation: The article gives an interpretation of the views of Peter Kropotkin on the reform process in Russia in the late 1850s and the early 1860s and his ideas about the role of the provincial administration of Eastern Siberia in the preparation of the reforms. The novelty of the research lies in the analysis of Peter Kropotkin's judgements about the perception and implementation of the reformist plans of ministries by the provincial administration, which was the most important link in the mechanism of the transformation of society. Peter Kropotkin was an active participant in this preparatory work in Chita Province and knew all the persons involved in it, therefore his testimonies and judgements are of interest for historical science. Historiography has not sufficiently studied the problem of perception by the participants of the transformations in the provinces of the course of practical implementation of the reforms conceived by the central government, in particular in Eastern Siberia. The article analyses the way of thinking of Peter Kropotkin in 1857-1863, reproduces the characteristics given by Peter Kropotkin to the governors of Eastern Siberia, his judgements about their participation in the preparation of projects of transformations in this region, we also analyse the forms of interaction of the provincial administration with the local community, interpreted Peter Kropotkin's views on the reasons for the turn of power to reaction in the early 1860s and on the results of the transformations.
