1930-1968

In the 1930s Khabarovsk Regional Museum has largely lost its scientific potential. During the Stalinist repressions, many scientists-specialists of the museum suffered, the departments of ethnography, archeology were liquidated, many unique museum items were in storerooms. The museum has become a politically engaged institute with high attendance, but a low level of scientific work and accounting and custody activity. However, despite this, in Soviet times the museum was repeatedly led by famous public figures and scientists: historian-linguist, ethnographer, archivist D.S. Tsybyktarova, as well as the famous Far Eastern writer and local historian V.P. Sysoev. The latter attracted scientific forces to solve museum problems: academician A.P. Okladnikov, archaeologist E.V. Shavkunov, ethnographers Yu.A. Sem and L.I. Sem, who became scientific leaders in the process of creating a new exhibition. In 1968, the Khabarovsk Regional Museum was awarded the title "Best Museum of the RSFSR."

1910-1918

In 1910-1918 and in 1924-1926 the director of the museum was V.K. Arsenyev, an outstanding ethnographer, researcher, writer and public figure. Under his leadership, unique collections were collected and systematized, which are still of great scientific importance. The Khabarovsk Museum has become one of the best museums in Eastern Siberia and the Far East. The famous Norwegian polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen, Russian ethnographers L. Ya. Sternberg, S. M. Shirokogorov and many others praised Arsenyev's scientific and museum activities.
