Abstract
The paper is dedicated to the study of the current state of historical and biographical research of polar explorers of the 1930’s. The author analyzes the domestic historiography of the XXI century in order to determine the degree of completeness and study of the biographies of the Soviet conquerors of the Arctic. Their personal composition is determined by sampling from the latest «Arctic Encyclopedia». Bibliographic material was selected and studied for each of the 105 polar explorers, which was then grouped and systematized by qualitative categories and quantitative indicators. Based on analytical and statistical methods of comparing primary data, the personal distribution of the number and composition of publications is shown. The scientific novelty of the work consists in covering the most recent historiographical layer and in identifying aspects of the topic that remain insufficiently studied at the moment.
