UNDER THE SHADOW OF WHITE TARA - NIKOLAY TSYREM...

The book systematically explores the history of the Buddhist community in the Russian Empire.
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.
