Introduction. The article examines ‘yasak’ books and explores Daurs to have resided in Yakutia in 1634-1678. Goals. The study aims to analyze all available data on Daurs who had inhabited the Aldan River Basin (‘Aldan Daurs’). The objectives to be pursued thereto include as follows: 1) analysis of sources mentioning the 17th-century Aldan Daurs, 2) identification of similarities and differences between the Daur population of Yakutia and kindred ethnic groups. Materials and methods. The study primarily analyzes scientific works on the history of Yakutia, as well as published archival documents of that period ― yasak books, orders, and petitions. The work employs historical research methods, i.e. the historical descriptive (narrative), comparative ones, and that of linguistic analysis. Results. The paper articulates assumptions about origins of individuals mentioned in the yasak book, and provides a detailed linguistic analysis of Daur and other names for the former’s ethnic identification. The article deals with the Daurs of Yakutia only, and does not address the issue of the origin of the Sakha people (Yakuts). The work shows that the available sources are insufficient for accurate ethnic identification of Yakutia’s Daurs. This question requires further comprehensive research.

Goals. The article aims to determine the place of Mongolia and plots related to the history of this country in works of the famous Soviet and Russian historian Ilya I. Kuznetsov, to evaluate his contribution to the study of the military conflict between the Red Army and armed forces of Japan in 1939 at the River of Khalkhin, and to characterize the role of I. Kuznetsov in preparing the memoirs of Yu. Tsedenbal. Materials and methods. The article analyzes memoirs and correspondence of I. Kuznetsov, materials of periodicals and mainly scientific works of the historian dealing with exploits of Soviet and Mongolian soldiers during the conflict on the Khalkhin Gol River. The methodology employed — in addition to the general scientific method of analysis — includes special historical research methods, i.e. the retrospective and chronological ones. Results. The study determines the chronological framework of issues related to events on the Khalkhin Gol River and studied by I. Kuznetsov — from mid-1960s to mid-1980s. The scholar prepared a number of articles and monographs that forever inscribed his name in the historiography of the events at Khalkhin Gol. Assistance in the preparation of Yu. Tsedenbal’s memoirs also became an important and interesting part of the historian’s scientific path, although this work remained unfinished. Conclusions. The study shows that despite issues of Mongolian history were not central to the scientific endeavors of I. Kuznetsov, his insights into the events on the Khalkhin Gol River were important in developing another research interest of the historian — destinies of Heroes of the Soviet Union and feats accomplished by soldiers of the Soviet and Mongolian armies. Publications of I. Kuznetsov’s works in the Mongolian People’s Republic and the Soviet Union unequivocally attest to the significance of his academic efforts aimed at exploring destinies of the heroes of Khalkhin Gol. This is confirmed by the very fact the scholar was invited to assist Yu. Tsedenbal in writing the latter’s memoirs. I. Kuznetsov was a historian with diverse scientific interests who with genuine enthusiasm tackled new research topics. The Mongolian theme is undoubtedly a significant contribution to his scientific background. And for the Mongolian people proper, the perpetuation of their compatriots’ feats in the conflict at Khalkhin Gol was of great importance.

Introduction. The article examines a yarliq from Dastur al-Katib (14th c. CE) and attempts to an insight into the principles of using the Mongol language in the 13th–14th century Persian records management system. Goals. The study provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the historical monument — a yarliq appointing a bakhshi (senior scribe) included in Dastur al-Katib fi Tayin al-Maratib (A Scribe’s Guide to Determining Ranks) compiled in the mid-14th century by Muhammad ibn Hindushah Nakhchivani, a financial statesman under the late Hulaguids and early Jalairids. To facilitate this, the paper shall: 1) translate the examined document into Russian, 2) characterize the latter as a valuable source on history of state, law and chancellery culture of Mongol Iran, 3) analyze the yarliq as an official act and a source of law, 4) identify the legal status of the Mongolian language in 13th–14th century Iran. Materials and methods. The study explores the yarliq proper and other materials of Dastur al-Katib, additional medieval sources on Mongol Iran and Genghisid states, including works by Rashid al-Din, Wassaf, etc., official documents of Genghisid chancelleries. The work employs a series of historical and legal research methods, such as those of source criticism, diplomatics analysis, comparative historical research, formal legal approach, historical legal and comparative legal analyses. Results. The paper introduces the yarliq appointing a secretary (bakhshi) from the medieval Persian treatise titled Dastur al-Katib into Russian-language scientific discourse and supplements it with a detailed interdisciplinary analysis. The work clarifies specific features of a bakhshi’s legal status as a senior scribe responsible for translating official edicts from Persian into Mongolian, his functions, rights, requirements for candidates. An attempt to identify the person to have been appointed scribe therein was made. Conclusions. The works concludes Mongolian had a status of the official language in records management system of Iran throughout the late 13th and 14th centuries, the former having been extensively used by nomadizing subjects of Hulaguid and Jalairid Ilkhans, including top-rank executives of Mongolian descent. This was reflected in the appointment of a special official responsible for articulating legal and other documents into Mongolian for nomadic elites and warlords. However, to extrapolate this conclusion onto other Genghisid states it is necessary to compare the researched document and additional information on Mongol Iran with similar sources from other heirs of the Mongol Empire, such as the Golden Horde, Chagatai Ulus, etc.
介绍。本文考察了Dastur al-Katib(公元14年)的一篇yarliq，并试图深入了解13 - 14世纪波斯记录管理系统中使用蒙古语的原则。的目标。这项研究提供了对这一历史遗迹的跨学科分析——一名任命bakhshi(高级抄写员)的yarliq被收录在14世纪中期由Muhammad ibn Hindushah Nakhchivani编纂的Dastur al-Katib fi Tayin al-Maratib(抄写员确定等级指南)中，Muhammad ibn Hindushah Nakhchivani是Hulaguids晚期和jalairidds早期的一位财政政治家。为了促进这一点，本文将:1)将审查的文件翻译成俄文，2)将后者描述为蒙古伊朗国家历史，法律和总理文化的宝贵来源，3)分析yarliq作为官方行为和法律来源，4)确定蒙古语在13 - 14世纪伊朗的法律地位。材料和方法。本研究探讨了达斯图尔·卡提卜的yarliq proper和其他材料，以及其他关于蒙古伊朗和成吉思汗国家的中世纪资料，包括拉希德·丁(Rashid al-Din)、瓦萨夫(Wassaf)等的著作，以及成吉思汗大臣的官方文件。本文运用了文献批评、外交分析、比较历史研究、形式法律研究、历史法律分析和比较法律分析等一系列历史和法律研究方法。结果。本文将中世纪波斯文献《Dastur al-Katib》中的“yarliq任用秘书(bakhshi)”引入俄语科学论述，并对其进行了详细的跨学科分析。该作品阐明了巴赫什作为负责将官方法令从波斯语翻译成蒙古语的高级抄写员的法律地位的具体特征，他的职能、权利和对候选人的要求。人们曾试图找出被任命为其中书记的人。结论。这些作品得出结论，在整个13世纪末和14世纪，蒙古语在伊朗的记录管理系统中具有官方语言的地位，前者被呼拉吉德和贾拉伊德伊尔汗的游牧臣民广泛使用，包括蒙古血统的高级管理人员。这反映在任命一名特别官员，负责为游牧精英和军阀将法律和其他文件翻译成蒙古文。然而，为了将这一结论推断到其他成吉思汗国家，有必要将研究的文件和关于蒙古伊朗的额外信息与蒙古帝国其他继承人的类似资料进行比较，如金帐汗国、察合台乌鲁斯等。

Introduction. The article deals with an understudied — though essential — episode in the history of the Kalmyk Khanate — the 1722 meeting of Peter I of Russia and Khan Ayuka of Kalmyks on the banks of the Volga. The issue proves not only topical but is also as interesting since personal written memoirs to have somewhat covered the event are scarce enough, even the latter often being controversial. Goals. The article analyzes little known private materials to attempt a clarifying insight into the actual historical circumstances of the meeting. The former are accounts of those to have attended and witnessed the event, such as the Operations Record Book of the 1722 Campaign by Peter the Great, travel notes of J. Bell (a Scotch physician in the Russian imperial service), Kalmyk-to-Russian translator V. Bakunin, and reports by hydrographer and navigator F. Soimonov. Results. The examination of the mentioned private 18th–19th century sources shows those often contradict each other, and eyewitness accounts need further detailed investigation. Unfortunately, such private sources dated to the 18th and 19th centuries provide no clear answers to multiple questions but rather tend to give rise to new ones and complicate any historical reconstruction of the 1722 meeting. However, the source base is extensive enough and requires meticulous analysis. Most significantly, those are archival documents that may contain additional details and put an end to arguments over the revealed controversial facts.

Introduction. The article examines and introduces into scientific circulation a set of archival documents discovered at the State Archive of Astrakhan Oblast (file 480, collection 597 ‘Astrakhan Eparchial Committee of Missionary Orthodox [Christian] Society’) and supplemented with publications of Astrakhan periodicals (Astrakhanskiy Listok, Astrakhanskie Vedomosti) containing interdepartmental messages of regional authorities pertaining to a memorial facility (Kalm. tsatsa) in the locality of Chapchachi (Iki Tsokhor Ulus of Kalmyk Steppe). Materials and methods. The article employs the comparative and historical descriptive methods of research. The analyzed narratives comprise a number of 1900–1902 archival documents as follows: report by Ven. V. I. Kryazhimsky, missionary of Astrakhan Eparchial Committee; letters of response by the Committee of Kalmyk People’s Administrative Department and Astrakhan Governor M. A. Hasenkampf; article published in Astrakhanskiy Listok. Results. The work introduces documents dealing with the early 20th century interdepartmental discussion over preservation of the Ven. Kögshn Bagshi memorial facility in the locality of Chapchachi. Conclusions. The attitudes towards the memorial building of tsatsa (the tradition of worshiping Ven. Kögshn Bagshi) was typical of Russian spiritual and secular authorities in the latter’s contacts with the Buddhist tradition throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries at large. The Russian Orthodox Church was wary of the active ritual practices performed by Buddhist clerics of Kalmyk Steppe and sought to prevent an increase in the number of Buddhist priests and neutralize their influence on the population. Operating within the legal framework, the provincial authorities remained neutral towards the activities of the Buddhist clergy and made efforts to legally oppose the aggravation of confessional controversies in the region.

Goals. The article aims at characterizing a unique animal of Inner and Central Asian nomads — the domestic yak (sarlyk) and its hybrid (khainak) that have been bred by Mongols and Buryats for hundreds of years. The work provides a first ethnographic insight into statistical data on yak population dynamics in synchronous and diachronous perspectives, reviews adaptive properties of the animal instrumental in surviving in extreme conditions of highlands, its exterior, breeding and behavioral specifics, economic significance. Materials and methods. The article explores literary, field and online sources to employ the methodology of comparative analysis, in particular, the comparative-historical-genetic method. Materials about yak breeding among Turkic peoples are essentially verifying by nature. Results. When it comes to declare the five traditional types of livestock bred, Mongols and Buryats mention no yak, the latter be clustered with cattle. Mongolia’s yak population ranks second worldwide — after China. The post-Socialist era witnessed an increase in yak numbers in Mongolia paralleled by a decrease in Russia. Domestic yaks have unique adaptive properties towards low oxygen partial pressure, extreme cold, and meagre fodder resources. The incomplete domestication of animals is determined by high profitability via such extensive farming techniques. Being meat, dairy and working animals, sarlyks and khainaks were most essential to the traditional economy of nomads. In the 21st century, their products become exotic and environment friendly food items, while skin, hair, wool, undercoat and other components serve as unique raw materials for light industry, pharmacology and cosmetology. Conclusions. The 21st century Mongolia with its vast yak friendly territories witnesses a significant head increase resulting in industrial processing facilities of yak raw materials nationwide. In the 1980s, the Soviets were undertaking active purposeful efforts to develop yak breeding, while the free market period decreased both numbers of animals held by Buryats and their habitat. The situation is due to the lack of demand for yak products and the lack of infrastructure for industrial processing of raw materials. The domestic yak and its hybrid had made it possible for nomads of Inner Asia — Mongols and Buryats — to significantly extend economic boundaries of their ethnic territories and inhabit montane grasslands and shrublands.

Introduction. The paper provides a first analysis — in Mongolian and Russian historiography — of all scientific journal publications, monographs and proceedings of academic conferences dealing with the Soviet diplomat Otto Ivanovich Makstenek, the first Authorized Representative of RSFSR People’s Foreign Affairs Commissariat to Mongolia who made a huge contribution to the success of the Mongolian Revolution of 1921 only to remain unheralded in history. Goals. The study aims at identifying and analyzing (in a historiographic perspective) all scientific works covering revolutionary and diplomatic activities of O. I. Makstenek and authored by Russian and Mongolian scientists. The objectives to be tackled thereto include as follows: 1) analysis of bibliographic publications for further identification of scientific works dedicated to the Soviet diplomat, 2) genre determination of such works (monographs, articles, proceedings of research conferences), historiographic analysis of publications by Russian and Mongolian scholars. Conclusions. The historiographic analysis show O. I. Makstenek as a historical figure whose life and deeds — though preserved in fragments only — illustrate revolutionary events in Livonia, Irkutsk Governorate, Transbaikalia, and Mongolia in the 1900s to 1920s. Makstenek’s activity as Authorized Representative of RSFSR People’s Foreign Affairs Commissariat to Mongolia was the pinnacle of his revolutionary work. And the research materials attest to that he made a most valuable contribution to the victory of the Mongolian Revolution of 1921.
介绍。本文首次分析了蒙古和俄罗斯史学中有关苏联外交官奥托·伊万诺维奇·马克斯捷涅克的所有科学期刊出版物、专著和学术会议记录。马克斯捷涅克是俄罗斯苏维埃社会主义共和国人民外交事务委员会驻蒙古的第一位授权代表，他为1921年蒙古革命的成功做出了巨大贡献，但却默默无闻。的目标。这项研究的目的是(从史学的角度)确定和分析所有由俄罗斯和蒙古科学家撰写的关于O. I. Makstenek的革命和外交活动的科学著作。要解决的目标包括:1)分析书目出版物，以进一步确定苏联外交官的科学著作;2)确定这些著作的类型(专著、文章、研究会议记录);对俄罗斯和蒙古学者的出版物进行历史分析。结论。史学分析表明，O. I. Makstenek是一个历史人物，他的生活和事迹——尽管只保存在碎片中——说明了20世纪20年代至20世纪20年代在利沃尼亚、伊尔库茨克省、外贝加尔和蒙古发生的革命事件。马克斯捷涅克作为俄罗斯苏维埃社会主义共和国人民外事委员部驻蒙古代表的活动是他革命工作的巅峰。研究资料证明，他对1921年蒙古革命的胜利作出了最宝贵的贡献。

Introduction. The article examines peculiarities of missionary activities performed by the Russian Orthodox Church among Buddhists of Eastern Siberia in the mid-to-late 19th century. Goals. The paper aims to analyze — in social and archaeographic perspectives — a Tibetan manuscript collection at the Institute for Mongolian, Buddhist and Tibetan Studies (SB RAS) compiled through efforts of the Orthodox Christian missionary Konstantin K. Stukov (1809–1883). Materials and methods. The so called ‘cognitive history’ and certain elements of historical phenomenology serve as a methodological basis of the research. The structure of the Stukov Collection contributes to further understanding of both functioning patterns inherent to mid-to-late 19th century Buddhist communities of Eastern Siberia — and essentials of concurrent Orthodox Christian missionary endeavors across the region. The main research problem is to determine the substantial specifics of this collection for subsequent reconstruction of certain aspects in missionary activities of the priest. Conclusions. Ven. Stukov was interested in exploring worldviews and ritual practices of lay Buddhists for the cause of his missionary work. Those to be learnt knowledge areas (besides fundamental Buddhist doctrines proper) were to include visions of life characteristic of native inhabitants and largely rooted in pre-Buddhist culture of Siberia, South and Inner Asia. And the paper suggests that very interest proved crucial to the success of Ven. Stukov’s missionary deeds. The analysis claims personal initiative was an important factor of missionary work in mid-to-late 19th century Eastern Siberia integral to the then (and there) government policies at large. The article also introduces some newly discovered episodes from the biography of Konstantin K. Stukov — an Orthodox Christian priest, ethnographer, and social activist.
介绍。本文考察了19世纪中后期俄罗斯东正教在东西伯利亚佛教徒中传教活动的特点。的目标。本文旨在从社会和考古学的角度分析蒙古、佛教和西藏研究所(SB RAS)的藏文手稿收藏，这些手稿是由东正教传教士康斯坦丁·k·斯图科夫(1809-1883)编纂的。材料和方法。所谓的“认知历史”和历史现象学的某些要素是研究的方法论基础。斯图科夫收藏的结构有助于进一步了解19世纪中后期东西伯利亚佛教社区固有的功能模式，以及同时在该地区进行的东正教传教活动的本质。主要的研究问题是确定这个集合的实质性细节，以便随后重建牧师传教活动的某些方面。结论。Ven。为了他的传教事业，斯图科夫对探索世俗佛教徒的世界观和仪式实践很感兴趣。那些需要学习的知识领域(除了基本的佛教教义之外)包括当地居民的生活特征，主要植根于西伯利亚、南亚和中亚的前佛教文化。这篇论文表明，这种兴趣被证明是Ven。斯图科夫的传教事迹。分析称，个人主动性是19世纪中后期东西伯利亚传教工作的一个重要因素，是当时(和当时)政府政策的一部分。这篇文章还介绍了康斯坦丁·k·斯图科夫(Konstantin K. Stukov)传记中一些新发现的片段，他是一位东正教牧师、民族志学家和社会活动家。

Introduction. The study analyzes the development of humanitarian ties between the Soviet Union (Russia) and the Mongolian People’s Republic (Mongolia). The work focuses on processes of cultural, scientific and educational cooperation between the countries, provides insight into main mechanisms and areas of interaction over the century of official diplomatic relations. Goals. The article aims at performing a brief analysis of the legal framework for the implementation of mutual relations in the humanitarian sphere, as well as at identifying key stages in the development of cultural and educational contacts, which is of utmost importance in terms of creating strong ties between nations. Materials and methods. The study examines legal sources, publications, and scientific literature. Results. Ultimately, the paper determines main stages in the development of cultural and scientific cooperation, outlines objective reasons to have caused the cooling in relations between the countries after the collapse of the USSR. Despite the successor states of the USSR and the MPR were desperately seeking to distance themselves from the Socialist past and ideological foundations in the 1990s, the cultural essentials did not undergo any crucial reassessment of previous achievements. In the 2000s and onwards, a new stage in the development of relations between the Russian Federation and Mongolia has begun. The contemporary nature of interaction has reached the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership. One of the important markers characterizing the level and conditions of bilateral relations is the essential number of scientific events held as part of the centenary celebrations. The work highlights main contradictions that arise between countries under current conditions, though shows those contradictions are not actually systemic by nature. Conclusions. So, the study presents key prospects for the implementation of joint projects aimed at developing scientific and humanitarian cooperation that lay sound foundations of mutual relations. A special role therein was once played by professional training of Mongolia’s citizens at Soviet universities.
