Buddhism is considered to be one of Russia's traditional religions and is legally a part of Russian historical heritage.[1] Historically, Buddhism was incorporated into Siberia in the early 17th century.[2] Besides the historical monastic traditions of the Buryats, the Kalmyks (Kalmykia the latter being the only Buddhist-majority republic in Europe), the Tuvans, and a part of the Evenki people (in Buryatia),[3] the religion of Buddhism is now spreading all over Russia, with many ethnic Russian converts.[4][5]
The main form of Buddhism in Russia is Vajrayana, namely the Gelukpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, informally known as the "yellow hat" tradition,[5][6] with other Tibetan and non-Tibetan schools as minorities. Although Tibetan Buddhism is most often associated with Tibet, it spread into Mongolia. Via Mongolia, Buddhism into Siberia before spreading to the rest of Russia.
In the early 20th century, the famous Datsan Gunzechoinei in Saint Petersburg was the northernmost Buddhist temple in Russia.
