It offers an advanced overview of the relations that existed between the Buriat Buddhists and the Russian imperial authorities. Various institutions and actors represented Russian power: foreign and interior ministries, the Irkutsk general-governorship, the Orthodox Christian mission of East Siberia, local journalists and academic scholars. The book is focussing especially on the evolution of imperial legislation and specific administrative mechanisms aiming at the regulation of Buddhist affairs. The author demonstrates how these actors responded to conflicting situations and collisions of interests. Thus the history of relations between Russia and her Buddhist subjects is shown as a complex process with participation of a number of actors with their own interests and motivations.Eurasian studies library ;Volume 16.Russian imperial policyreligious toleranceconfessional stateDharmalemacIrkutskBuddhismBouriatie (Russie)Vie religieuseRussia (Federation)Buri︠a︡tii︠a︡fastRussiafastInformational worksfastHistoryfastInformational works.lcgftDocuments d'information.rvmgfRussian imperial policyreligious toleranceconfessional stateDharmaIrkutskBuddhism261.72Tsyrempilov Nikolayaut696833MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817684103321Under the Shadow of White Tara4066610UNINA
