타르바가타이 마을은 러시아 정교에 불복했던 카톨릭 교도들이 집단 유배돼서 정착한 마을이다. 이들을 쎄메이스키라고 부른다. 쎄메이스키는 부리야트 공화국내에만도 2십만명이 넘게 살고 있다. 그들은 가난하거나, 술 마시는 사람 조차 없다고 한다. 가족의 행복을 위해서 부지런히 일하기 때문이다. 또 하나의 장점은 시베리아 일대에서 러시아 전통문화를 가장 잘 간직한 것으로 알려져 있다. 등에 걸쳐 앞으로 묶는 기혼부인의 나들이용 의복인 키치카와. 명절 때면 머리에 착용한 액세서리를 설명하는 두 분도 쎄메이스키다. 이 키치카는 사람의 손으로 수를 놓아서 만든 것인데, 200여 년 동안을 사용한 것이라고 한다. 러시아 음악가 '림스키코르사코프'는 러시아 음악의 원류를 '쎄메이스키'들에게서 찾아야한다고 주장한다. 쎄메이스키의 또 하나의 특징은 다양한 의상을 소장 하고 있다. 미혼의 젊은 여자의 옷 색깔은 밝고 화려한 것을 추구하고. 결혼을 해서 나이가 들면 어두운 색깔을 선호 했다고 한다. 이 비단 제품은 아프카니스탄에서 만들어진 것이다. 중국에서 울란우데까지의 차마고도를 통해서 가져온 것이다. 이밖에도 우크라이나, 폴란드, 모스크바 등지에서 가져온 다양한 의상을 소장하고 있다.

밤새도록 달린 기차는 다음날 아침 7시쯤 드디어 이르쿠츠크에 도착했다. 지어진 지 １００년이 넘는 기차역이 인상적이다. “안녕히 가세요” 이르쿠츠크의 명물인 트램 버스를 타고 시내를 한 바퀴 둘러보기로 했다. 이르쿠츠크에는 유럽풍의 옛날 건물들이 아름답게 들어서 있다. 때문에 이르쿠츠크는 ‘시베리아의 파리’, 또는 ‘작은 상트페테르부르크’로 불린다. 제정러시아 때 이곳에 왔던 사람들은 시베리아에 이런 도시가 있다는 사실에 놀라움을 금치 못했다고 한다. 그만큼 이르쿠츠크는 낯설고도 아름다운 도시다. 이 도시는 알렉산드르 ３세 때 시베리아횡단철도 건설이 시작되면서 본격적으로 개발되기 시작했다. 올해가 시베리아횡단철도가 완공된 지 꼭 １００년이 되는 해다. 이르쿠츠크에서 가장 아름다운 정교 사원 중 하나라는 즈나멘스키 수도원을 찾았다. 마침 예배가 진행되고 있었다. 러시아 정교의 예배는 무척이나 경건하고 장엄하다. 러시아 사람들의 삶과 문화, 예술에서 정교가 천 년 동안 얼마나 큰 자리를 차지해 왔는지 어렴풋이 알 것 같다.

SUMMARY
=======
Mongolia ( (listen); Monggol Ulus in Mongolian; Монгол Улс
in Mongolian Cyrillic) is a landlocked country in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between China to the south and Russia to the north. Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, although only 37 kilometres (23 mi) separates them.
At 1,564,116 square kilometres (603,909 sq mi), Mongolia is the 18th-largest and the most sparsely populated unitary sovereign state in the world, with a population of around 3 million people. It is also the world's second-largest landlocked country behind Kazakhstan and the largest landlocked country that does not border a closed sea. The country contains very little arable land, as much of its area is covered by grassy steppe, with mountains to the north and west and the Gobi Desert to the south. Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to about 45% of the country's population.
Approximately 30% of the population is nomadic or semi-nomadic; horse culture is still integral. The majority of its population are Buddhists. The non-religious population is the second largest group. Islam is the dominant religion among ethnic Kazakhs. The majority of the state's citizens are of Mongol ethnicity, although Kazakhs, Tuvans, and other minorities also live in the country, especially in the west. Mongolia joined the World Trade Organization in 1997 and seeks to expand its participation in regional economic and trade groups.The area of what is now Mongolia has been ruled by various nomadic empires, including the Xiongnu, the Xianbei, the Rouran, the Turkic Khaganate, and others. In 1206, Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous land empire in history. His grandson Kublai Khan conquered China to establish the Yuan dynasty. After the collapse of the Yuan, the Mongols retreated to Mongolia and resumed their earlier pattern of factional conflict, except during the era of Dayan Khan and Tumen Zasagt Khan.
In the 16th century, Tibetan Buddhism began to spread in Mongolia, being further led by the Manchu-founded Qing dynasty, which absorbed the country in the 17th century. By the early 1900s, almost one-third of the adult male population were Buddhist monks. After the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Mongolia declared independence, and achieved actual independence from the Republic of China in 1921. Shortly thereafter, the country came under the control of the Soviet Union, which had aided its independence from China. In 1924, the Mongolian People's Republic was founded as a socialist state. After the anti-Communist revolutions of 1989, Mongolia conducted its own peaceful democratic revolution in early 1990. This led to a multi-party system, a new constitution of 1992, and transition to a market economy.

Mongolia ( (listen); Monggol Ulus in Mongolian; Монгол Улс
in Mongolian Cyrillic) is a landlocked country in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between China to the south and Russia to the north. Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, although only 37 kilometres (23 mi) separates them.
At 1,564,116 square kilometres (603,909 sq mi), Mongolia is the 18th-largest and the most sparsely populated unitary sovereign state in the world, with a population of around 3 million people. It is also the world's second-largest landlocked country behind Kazakhstan and the largest landlocked country that does not border a closed sea. The country contains very little arable land, as much of its area is covered by grassy steppe, with mountains to the north and west and the Gobi Desert to the south. Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to about 45% of the country's population.
Approximately 30% of the population is nomadic or semi-nomadic; horse culture is still integral. The majority of its population are Buddhists. The non-religious population is the second largest group. Islam is the dominant religion among ethnic Kazakhs. The majority of the state's citizens are of Mongol ethnicity, although Kazakhs, Tuvans, and other minorities also live in the country, especially in the west. Mongolia joined the World Trade Organization in 1997 and seeks to expand its participation in regional economic and trade groups.The area of what is now Mongolia has been ruled by various nomadic empires, including the Xiongnu, the Xianbei, the Rouran, the Turkic Khaganate, and others. In 1206, Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous land empire in history. His grandson Kublai Khan conquered China to establish the Yuan dynasty. After the collapse of the Yuan, the Mongols retreated to Mongolia and resumed their earlier pattern of factional conflict, except during the era of Dayan Khan and Tumen Zasagt Khan.
In the 16th century, Tibetan Buddhism began to spread in Mongolia, being further led by the Manchu-founded Qing dynasty, which absorbed the country in the 17th century. By the early 1900s, almost one-third of the adult male population were Buddhist monks. After the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Mongolia declared independence, and achieved actual independence from the Republic of China in 1921. Shortly thereafter, the country came under the control of the Soviet Union, which had aided its independence from China. In 1924, the Mongolian People's Republic was founded as a socialist state. After the anti-Communist revolutions of 1989, Mongolia conducted its own peaceful democratic revolution in early 1990. This led to a multi-party system, a new constitution of 1992, and transition to a market economy.

SUMMARY
=======
Buddhism in Mongolia derives much of its recent characteristics from Tibetan Buddhism of the Gelug and Kagyu lineages, but is distinct and presents its own unique characteristics.
Buddhism in Mongolia began with the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) emperors' conversion to Tibetan Buddhism. The Mongols returned to shamanic traditions after the collapse of the Mongol Empire, but Buddhism reemerged in the 16th and 17th centuries.
