The article is devoted to the comparison of the status of the governor in Siberia and European Russia. The similarities and differences are revealed between Irkutsk governors and governors of the central part of the Russian Empire in terms of the volume and nature of powers, formal and informal ways of interaction with higher officials. Based on published sources and historical research, it is concluded that the position of the chiefs of the Irkutsk governorate differed significantly from the standard version of the governor's office of the 19th century.
