A semi-agricultural, semi-pastoral ethnic group in southern Siberia, part of the Mongolian people. There are about 370,000 in Russia and about 40,000 in Mongolia. In Russia, they mainly live in the Republic of Buryatia, Chita, Irkutsk, etc. Formerly nomads living in tents in the mountains around Lake Baikal, they came into contact with Russians in the mid-17th century, settled down, and began farming. They grow wheat, potatoes, vegetables, and beets, raise cattle, horses, sheep, and camels, and engage in organized hunting. They live in a patrilineal clan system, with society divided into two classes, an upper class and a lower class. They believe in a religion that is a mixture of shamanism and Buddhism, and the eastern Buryats are more Buddhist due to the influence of the Khalkha Mongols. There are also a small number of Russian Orthodox Christians. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
