Abstract
The paper deals with semantics of the concept of “inozemtsy” and attempts at finding out when it was introduced into use in paperwork as a term for designation of Siberian aborigines. The author comes to conclusion that Russians started to apply this socionym to the Siberian peoples from the second half of the XVI century. It contained the meaning of cultural “otherness” of Siberian natives and reflected a situation of their incomplete subjugation to the Russian power.
