BUDDHISM IN BURYATIA – AN INSTRUMENT OF COLONIAL POLICY OR A FIELD OF PRESERVING CULTURAL DISTINCTIVENESS?

Albert Jawłowski

Abstract

Buddhism might be considered as cultural, social and political field of negotiation between state and one of its culturally different regions. As the article’s title says, the religion may be an instrument of colonization but can also help to preserve cultural distinctiveness. Text describes complex relations between these two dimensions of religion which shaped Buryat culture and identity starting from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries till nowadays.

Keywords:

buddhism, Buryatia, Cultural distinctiveness,, Colonial policy, Internal colonization, Cultural hegemony,, political domination, Cultural identity, Empire USSR, Russian Federation
