The author comes to the conclusion that the Krasnoyarsk text of Russian literature is determined by three main stages of formation. The first stage is associated with the activities of the first Yenisei governor A.P. Stepanov and the publication of the Yenisei Almanac for 1828. The second stage is determined by the visits to Krasnoyarsk by A.P. Chekhov and the heir to the throne Nikolai Alexandrovich in 1890 and 1891 and the works dedicated to these visits. The third stage falls on the Soviet and post-Soviet times. It is marked by the emergence of local literary forces and, above all, the large-scale figure of V.P. Astafyev.
