Buddhism in Russia

by Zinaida Vrublevska through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This piece very artistically articulates the connections the Russians have had with Buddhism. Not only Tsar Peter the Great with the world's first vernacular Tibetan - Russian Dictionary but Nicholas too was viewed as leader of the Shambhala warriors who would lead embattled Buddhists to victory. More importantly, the Mongol Kalmuck Buddhist Madame Blavatsky, credited with starting the so-called "New Age" had rather deep ties with Buddhism.
