One of Russia's most interesting republics is in South-Eastern Siberia on the Mongolian border - Buryatia: a rich variety of cultures and traditions are intertwined in its history.
In the past, every Buryat household had camels. They disappeared from homes during the 20th century. Now the humped animals are, once again, becoming popular.
Bair Mandanov, a local camel herdsman explained to euronews:
"They say that long ago, long before we were born, the Buryats had a lot of camels. Now we want that tradition to revive," he said.
The return of camels to national parks is one of many signs of Buryatia's drift back to its roots.
Neighbouring Lake Baikal contains 20 percent of the planet's unfrozen fresh water. The republic therefore has to prevent pollution, which rules out heavy industry.
A third of Buryatia's one million residents live in its capital, Ulan-Ude - a modern and dynamic city with rising buildings, busy streets and a vibrant nightlife.
Outside the capital, Buryatia is a land of pristine nature. Baikal's beauty attracts many visitors. Booming tourism brings income, but raises concerns for the lake's wellbeing.
The revival of ethnic cultures pulls more tourists into Buryatia's rural valleys. Traditional rites are still alive in local villages: they combine nomadic worshiping of nature's spirits, with ritual offerings, songs and meals - like boiled lamb. Its meat is considered pure and healthy, and bones are used for fortune-telling.
Dymbrin Borkhonova, art director, Hengerge folk ensemble explained:
"These high mountains...surround us, protecting us from various ills. We pray every morning to these holy gods - to our mountains and the deities that dwell at their peaks," he said.
The love of nature is rooted in the healing properties of the local land. The tectonic fracture that created Baikal created natural geothermal springs that became therapeutic resorts in the 18th century.
Vladimir Borisenko, a local bus driver enjoys the natural luxury:
"It's nice to stand under the hot stream when the weather is cold, it's a healthy and pleasant massage," he mused.
Today, the so-called 'valley of 100 springs' is a site of mass pilgrimage. The mineral sources provide healing powers. Some people splash water onto their eyes, hoping to improve their eyesight. Others bring bottles to collect water for drinking.
The cult of nature is typical of Buryatia's rural regions where ancient shamanic beliefs coexist with Tibetan Buddhism, creating a mixture of spiritual traditions. Euronews visited a village datsan, where a service was led by a local elder with a gift for preaching to deities.
Sodnom Lama explained to euronews:
"I would say it's a mixed rite. The offerings are made to the shamanistic spirits that are bound by an oath to Buddhism that also makes them deities of the Buddhist pantheon. So it's not a purely shamanistic rite," he said.
A land of true religious diversity, Buryatia is also a home to Old Believer Christians - an Orthodox minority whose ancestors were exiled here after the 17th century division in the Russian church.

For the past year Ukrainian propaganda has been relentless in its attempts to convince Ukrainians that "Russian slaves and dog of wars" Buryats and Chechens have been regularly invading Ukraine.
In this video, people of Russian Republic of Buryatia address people of Ukraine in an attempt to alleviate the paranoia and bring some sense into the view of the situation in Ukraine.

In south-central Siberia, along the shore of Lake Baikal, lies a population of fewer than one million people. The Buryats are the largest indigenous group in the region and most can be found in the Republic of Buryatia, a federal subject of Russia. Their rich Mongolian heritage is evident in their culture and their language.
But it is a language that many fear is dying.

NTV production team is implementing the Mongolian families around the world (Delhiin Mongol ail) project to shoot a series of documentary films about the spread of Mongolian ethnics around the world.
Our objective is to document the movements of ethnic Mongolian tribes/people, by following the path of the Mongol Empires invasions in the 13th century and thereafter. We are filming documentaries in seven countries where a large number of people of Mongol origin live, for example, Russia, China, India, Taiwan, USA, Afghanistan and Mongolia.
Besides documentaries, we have recorded a travel series Mongols in search of Mongols for broadcasting on television and by other media, with the first five programs already aired by NTV-Mongolia. The series was filmed in Republic of Kalmykia and Buryat Republic in Russian Federation, Inner Mongolia, Kok nor (Qinghai Lake), Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China and Bamyan Province in Afghanistan and Kalimpong, India.
We start by choosing a family with Mongol-origin, record a story about their family history and current lives. Our next destination is Taiwan, ROC and New Jersey, USA.

Buryat's young and talented singer Myadagmaa Dorjiiva.
The Republic of Buryatia is located in the south-central region of Siberia along the eastern shore of Lake Baikal. Over 80% of the republic's territory is located in the mountainous region, including the Baikal Mountains on the northern shores of Lake Baikal.
The area of the present-day Buryatia was first colonized in the 17th century by Russians in search of wealth, furs, and gold. In 1923, the Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was created as a result of the merger of Buryat-Mongol and Mongol-Buryat Oblasts. In 1937, Aga Buryatia and Ust-Orda Buryatia were detached from the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR and merged with Chita and Irkutsk Oblasts, respectively. In 1958, the name "Mongol" was removed from the name of the republic. The Buryat ASSR declared its sovereignty in 1990 and adopted the name Republic of Buryatia in 1992. However, it remained an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation.
The Buryat Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the former Soviet Union.

Buryats
The Buryats (Buryat: Буряад, Buryaad; Mongolian: Буриад/Buriad), numbering approximately 500,000, are the largest indigenous group in Siberia, mainly concentrated in their homeland, the Buryat Republic, a federal subject of Russia. They are the major northern subgroup of the Mongols.
Buryats share many customs with other Mongols, including nomadic herding, and erecting gers for shelter. Today, the majority of Buryats live in and around Ulan-Ude, the capital of the republic, although many live more traditionally in the countryside. They speak a central mongolic language called Buryat. According to UNESCO's 2010 edition of the Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger, the Buryat language is classified as severely endangered.
History
The Buryat people are descended from various Siberian and Mongol peoples that inhabited the Lake Baikal Region. Then in the 13th century the Mongolians came up and subjugated the various Buryat tribes (Bulgachin, Kheremchin) around Lake Baikal. The name "Buriyad" is mentioned as one of the forest people for the first time in The Secret History of the Mongols (possibly 1240). It says Jochi, the eldest son of Genghis Khan, marched north to subjugate the Buryats in 1207. The Buryats lived along the Angara River and its tributaries at this time. Meanwhile, their component, Barga, appeared both west of Baikal and in northern Buryatia's Barguzin valley. Linked also to the Bargas were the Khori-Tumed along the Arig River in eastern Khövsgöl Province and the Angara. A Tumad rebellion broke out in 1217, when Genghis Khan allowed his viceroy to seize 30 Tumad maidens. Genghis Khan's commander Dorbei the Fierce of the Dörbeds smashed them in response. The Buryats joined the Oirats challenging the imperial rule of the Eastern Mongols during the Northern Yuan period in the late 14th century.

Lake Baikal
Lake Baikal (Russian: о́зеро Байка́л, tr. Ozero Baykal; IPA: [ˈozʲɪrə bɐjˈkɑl]; Buryat: Байгал нуур, Mongolian: Байгал нуур, Baygal nuur, etymologically meaning, in Mongolian, "the Nature Lake") is a rift lake in Russia, located in southern Siberia, between Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and the Buryat Republic to the southeast.
Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world, containing roughly 20% of the world's unfrozen surface fresh water. With a maximum depth of 1,642 m (5,387 ft), Baikal is the world's deepest lake. It is considered among the world's clearest lakes and is considered the world's oldest lake— at 25 million years. It is the seventh-largest lake in the world by surface area. With 23,615.39 km3 (5,700 cu mi) of fresh water, it contains more water than all the North American Great Lakes combined.
Like Lake Tanganyika, Lake Baikal was formed as an ancient rift valley, having the typical long crescent shape with a surface area of 31,722 km2 (12,248 sq mi). Baikal is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, many of which exist nowhere else in the world. The lake was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. It is also home to Buryat tribes who reside on the eastern side of Lake Baikal, rearing goats, camels, cattle, and sheep, where the mean temperature varies from a winter minimum of −19 °C (−2 °F) to a summer maximum of 14 °C (57 °F).

One of Russia's most interesting republics is in South-Eastern Siberia on the Mongolian border - Buryatia: a rich variety of cultures and traditions are intertwined in its history.
In the past, every Buryat household had camels. They disappeared from homes during the 20th century. Now the humped animals are, once again, becoming popular.
Bair Mandanov, a local camel herdsman explained to euronews:
"They say that long ago, long before we were born, the Buryats had a lot of camels. Now we want that tradition to revive," he said.
The return of camels to national parks is one of many signs of Buryatia's drift back to its roots.
Neighbouring Lake Baikal contains 20 percent of the planet's unfrozen fresh water. The republic therefore has to prevent pollution, which rules out heavy industry.
A third of Buryatia's one million residents live in its capital, Ulan-Ude - a modern and dynamic city with rising buildings, busy streets and a vibrant nightlife.
Outside the capital, Buryatia is a land of pristine nature. Baikal's beauty attracts many visitors. Booming tourism brings income, but raises concerns for the lake's wellbeing.
The revival of ethnic cultures pulls more tourists into Buryatia's rural valleys. Traditional rites are still alive in local villages: they combine nomadic worshiping of nature's spirits, with ritual offerings, songs and meals - like boiled lamb. Its meat is considered pure and healthy, and bones are used for fortune-telling.
Dymbrin Borkhonova, art director, Hengerge folk ensemble explained:
"These high mountains...surround us, protecting us from various ills. We pray every morning to these holy gods - to our mountains and the deities that dwell at their peaks," he said.
The love of nature is rooted in the healing properties of the local land. The tectonic fracture that created Baikal created natural geothermal springs that became therapeutic resorts in the 18th century.
Vladimir Borisenko, a local bus driver enjoys the natural luxury:
"It's nice to stand under the hot stream when the weather is cold, it's a healthy and pleasant massage," he mused.
Today, the so-called 'valley of 100 springs' is a site of mass pilgrimage. The mineral sources provide healing powers. Some people splash water onto their eyes, hoping to improve their eyesight. Others bring bottles to collect water for drinking.
The cult of nature is typical of Buryatia's rural regions where ancient shamanic beliefs coexist with Tibetan Buddhism, creating a mixture of spiritual traditions. Euronews visited a village datsan, where a service was led by a local elder with a gift for preaching to deities.
Sodnom Lama explained to euronews:
"I would say it's a mixed rite. The offerings are made to the shamanistic spirits that are bound by an oath to Buddhism that also makes them deities of the Buddhist pantheon. So it's not a purely shamanistic rite," he said.
A land of true religious diversity, Buryatia is also a home to Old Believer Christians - an Orthodox minority whose ancestors were exiled here after the 17th century division in the Russian church.

http://www.euronews.com/2013/10/15/buryatia-one-of-russia-s-most-distinctive-republics
One of Russia's most interesting republics is in South-Eastern Siberia on the Mongolian border - Buryatia: a rich variety of cultures and traditions are intertwined in its history.
In the past, every Buryat household had camels. They disappeared from homes during the 20th century. Now the humped animals are, once again, becoming popular.
Bair Mandanov, a local camel herdsman explained to euronews:
"They say that long ago, long before we were born, the Buryats had a lot of camels. Now we want that tradition to revive," he said.
The return of camels to national parks is one of many signs of Buryatia's drift back to its roots.
Neighbouring Lake Baikal contains 20 percent of the planet's unfrozen fresh water. The republic therefore has to prevent pollution, which rules out heavy industry.
A third of Buryatia's one million residents live in its capital, Ulan-Ude - a modern and dynamic city with rising buildings, busy streets and a vibrant nightlife.
Outside the capital, Buryatia is a land of pristine nature. Baikal's beauty attracts many visitors. Booming tourism brings income, but raises concerns for the lake's wellbeing.
The revival of ethnic cultures pulls more tourists into Buryatia's rural valleys. Traditional rites are still alive in local villages: they combine nomadic worshiping of nature's spirits, with ritual offerings, songs and meals - like boiled lamb. Its meat is considered pure and healthy, and bones are used for fortune-telling.
Dymbrin Borkhonova, art director, Hengerge folk ensemble explained:
"These high mountains...surround us, protecting us from various ills. We pray every morning to these holy gods - to our mountains and the deities that dwell at their peaks," he said.
The love of nature is rooted in the healing properties of the local land. The tectonic fracture that created Baikal created natural geothermal springs that became therapeutic resorts in the 18th century.
Vladimir Borisenko, a local bus driver enjoys the natural luxury:
"It's nice to stand under the hot stream when the weather is cold, it's a healthy and pleasant massage," he mused.
Today, the so-called 'valley of 100 springs' is a site of mass pilgrimage. The mineral sources provide healing powers. Some people splash water onto their eyes, hoping to improve their eyesight. Others bring bottles to collect water for drinking.
The cult of nature is typical of Buryatia's rural regions where ancient shamanic beliefs coexist with Tibetan Buddhism, creating a mixture of spiritual traditions. Euronews visited a village datsan, where a service was led by a local elder with a gift for preaching to deities.
Sodnom Lama explained to euronews:
"I would say it's a mixed rite. The offerings are made to the shamanistic spirits that are bound by an oath to Buddhism that also makes them deities of the Buddhist pantheon. So it's not a purely shamanistic rite," he said.
A land of true religious diversity, Buryatia is also a home to Old Believer Christians - an Orthodox minority whose ancestors were exiled here after the 17th century division in the Russian church.

In south-central Siberia, along the shore of Lake Baikal, lies a population of fewer than one million people. The Buryats are the largest indigenous group in the region and most can be found in the Republic of Buryatia, a federal subject of Russia. Their rich Mongolian heritage is evident in their culture and their language.
But it is a language that many fear is dying.

NTV production team is implementing the Mongolian families around the world (Delhiin Mongol ail) project to shoot a series of documentary films about the spread of Mongolian ethnics around the world.
Our objective is to document the movements of ethnic Mongolian tribes/people, by following the path of the Mongol Empires invasions in the 13th century and thereafter. We are filming documentaries in seven countries where a large number of people of Mongol origin live, for example, Russia, China, India, Taiwan, USA, Afghanistan and Mongolia.
Besides documentaries, we have recorded a travel series Mongols in search of Mongols for broadcasting on television and by other media, with the first five programs already aired by NTV-Mongolia. The series was filmed in Republic of Kalmykia and Buryat Republic in Russian Federation, Inner Mongolia, Kok nor (Qinghai Lake), Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China and Bamyan Province in Afghanistan and Kalimpong, India.
We start by choosing a family with Mongol-origin, record a story about their family history and current lives. Our next destination is Taiwan, ROC and New Jersey, USA.

Buryat's young and talented singer Myadagmaa Dorjiiva.
The Republic of Buryatia is located in the south-central region of Siberia along the eastern shore of Lake Baikal. Over 80% of the republic's territory is located in the mountainous region, including the Baikal Mountains on the northern shores of Lake Baikal.
The area of the present-day Buryatia was first colonized in the 17th century by Russians in search of wealth, furs, and gold. In 1923, the Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was created as a result of the merger of Buryat-Mongol and Mongol-Buryat Oblasts. In 1937, Aga Buryatia and Ust-Orda Buryatia were detached from the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR and merged with Chita and Irkutsk Oblasts, respectively. In 1958, the name "Mongol" was removed from the name of the republic. The Buryat ASSR declared its sovereignty in 1990 and adopted the name Republic of Buryatia in 1992. However, it remained an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation.
The Buryat Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the former Soviet Union.
