| Description | The turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is often referred to as the period of the Great Game. An important part in it was played by the Buryat teacher of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, Agvan Dorzhiev. Hidden in his shadow from western historians remained two other Buryats, Gonbozhab Tsebekovich Tsybikov and Bazar B. Baradin, who substantially contributed to the knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism in this region and who, unlike A. Dorzhiev, who was a political and religious activist, were academic scholars, representatives of developing Buryat intelligentsia. This contribution concentrates on the history of Russian and Buryat Buddhology and its development influenced by field research. |
