Kamchatka expedition of V.K. Arseniev (1918) is among the understudied. Its results were not published during the life of the Arseniev, and the manuscript of the final work being prepared has now been lost. The article discusses some of the circumstances of the work of this remarkable colonization expedition and the preparation for publication of the final work "Expedition to Kamchatka in 1918 and 1922". An attempt is made to historically reconstruct the circumstances of the preparation for the publication of this work. The connection between the colonization expeditions of V.K. Arseniev and V.I. Rubinsky (1908–1909) was also studied.
