“Red Storm” - so called Panchen -Lama IX communist power, established in Russia and adjacent, traditionally Buddhist countries - Mongolia and Tuva.
Within thirty years after the October Revolution of 1917, the Buddhist faith in Russia experienced one of the most violent and tragic periods, which was characterized by such processes as renewal, split, persecution by the authorities, violent liquidation and, finally, controlled by the authorities , limited revival. The “Buddhist factor” during this period played a significant international role, clearly manifested in the relations of the Soviet state with Mongolia, Tuva, China and Japan.
This work is the first full -scale and detailed study of the processes that took place at that time in the USSR: the gradual tightening of state policy in relation to Buddhism - including Buddhist culture, educational system and Tibetan medicine, simultaneously unfolding anti -religious propaganda, confiscation The property of Buddhist communities and the destruction of tens of thousands of priceless manuscripts and works of art, finally, mass repressions towards the clergy, which have completed the complete defeat of Buddhism in our country.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the Buddhist denomination in Russia and neighboring countries
