The Republic of Buryatia

- the territory of Russia in the southern part of Siberia, where the Russian border with Mongolia passes. The Republic of Buryatia is located next to Lake Baikal, and 52% of the republic's territory is located in the lake basin.

Buryatia borders on Mongolia and the Irkutsk region of Russia, the Republic of Tuva and the Trans-Baikal Territory. The republic is the homeland of the Buryat people, who have many common customs with the Mongols. The Buryat language is also a dialect of the Mongolian language. The main religions among the Buryats are Tibetan Buddhism and shamanism.

The capital of Buryatia is the city of Ulan-Ude

, which is one of the most interesting cities in Eastern Siberia. The city has many monuments, including the world's largest head of Lenin, and museums telling about the history and culture of Buryatia.

Ulan-Ude is translated from Buryat as Red Uda in honor of the Uda River on which the city stands. The Ulan (Red) part was added during Soviet times. Previously, the city was called Udinsk and Verkhneudinsk (which means Verkhnyaya Uda).

What to see in Buryatia

Most tourists to the republic are drawn to Buddhist monasteries known as datsans, the most famous of which is the Ivolginsky datsan outside Ulan-Ude. Another important attraction is the Transbaikalia Open Air Ethnographic Museum, also located outside of Ulan-Ude.

In addition, the republic has three national parks and three nature reserves. When you're in Buryatia, you should definitely try traditional Buryat cuisine, such as boiled dumplings known as "pozy" or "buuz", Buryat pilaf, lamb noodle soup called "shulep" and Buryat cheese.

Relief of Buryatia

The relief of Buryatia consists of mountain ranges, plateaus, basins and river valleys. The Sayan Mountains have a height of more than 3000 meters. The Khamar-Daban ridge rises from the southern tip of Baikal, and the Barguzin Mountains stretch along the northeastern shore of the lake. Other ranges include the Vitim Plateau in the northeast and the Yablonovsky Range on the eastern border of Buryatia.

Territory of Buryatia

More than half of the territory of Buryatia is occupied by dense forests, mostly evergreen. Steppe vegetation predominates in the basins and valleys between the mountains. Soils change from poor soils in forests to fertile black soils in steppe regions. Major river systems include the Selenga, a navigable river that flows into Baikal, and the Vitim, which flows to the north into the Lena River.

Climate of Buryatia

Buryatia has long winters and warm summers. Most of the republic receives less than 500 milliliters of precipitation per year.

History of Buryatia

Russians, in search of gold and furs, began colonizing the area in the mid-17th century. The indigenous people initially resisted the Russian settlers. However, over time, they abandoned the nomadic lifestyle and switched to the sedentary agricultural lifestyle of the Russians. Buryats make up only one-fourth of the republic's population, and the rest are mostly Russian. More than half the population lives in cities, mainly in the Selenga River basin, where Ulan-Ude is located.

Economy of Buryatia

Buryatia is rich in mineral resources, including gold, nickel, aluminum, iron and coal. Industry includes mining and metallurgy; production of building materials such as cement and glass; leather, textile, food and fish processing industries.

Breeding cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and reindeer, as well as horse breeding, are the main agricultural activities. The Selenga River valley provides nutrient-rich soils where spring wheat, potatoes, vegetables and sugar beets are grown.

Fur farming, hunting and fishing are also important. The Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) pass through the republic. Roads connect Ulan-Ude with cities in Mongolia and Russia.

Buryatia

is the center of Russian Buddhism, so you can see many sights related to this religion there. The main attraction of the republic is the Ivolginsky Datsan, which was founded in 1947. This large monastery is the main center of Buddhism in Russia. In addition to the temple, the monastery complex includes a library, a greenhouse, a hotel and other buildings.

Natural monuments of the Republic of Buryatia harmoniously coexist with historical and architectural monuments. The main national park of the republic is Alkhanay. It has a unique rock, the Temple Gate, 1100 meters high.
