A native of Transbaikalia, in addition to his native and Russian languages, he knew Mongolian, Manchurian, Kalmyk, Tibetan and German perfectly. The author of more than 25 works, the Mongolian scholar was appointed in Irkutsk as an official on particularly important matters under the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia. And it was here that the brilliant scientist found his peace.

Science and "Black Faith"

Dorzhi Banzarov was born in 1822 in the Iche-Tui Valley, into a family of border Cossacks. Besides him, there were four more sons in the family - Lochon, Dzondui, Badma and Kharagshan. Father, Banzar Borgonov, was a Pentecostal sergeant (officer) of the former Ashebagat regiment.

The parents decided to teach Dorji Russian literacy, since the 9-year-old son graduated from the Kharantsay parish school in just one year. After this, in September 1833, he was sent to the Troitskosavsk military Russian-Mongolian school.

In 1835, at the request of the Taisha of the Selenga Steppe Duma, Banzarov, among four Buryat boys, was sent to study at the 1st Kazan Gymnasium. It was during the period of his studies at the gymnasium that, in addition to his native and Russian languages, he perfectly mastered Mongolian, Manchurian, French, Kalmyk, Tibetan and German languages. He was well versed in Latin, Turkic, and English. In 1842, the gymnasium council awarded Banzarov a gold medal for excellent academic achievements.

After graduating from the gymnasium, in the same 1842, Banzarov entered the eastern department of the Faculty of Philosophy of Kazan University. The university opened the world of science to Banzarov. Here, for five years, he developed as a scientist: he wrote “General Geography” and “Grammar of the Mongolian Language” for his fellow tribesmen; translated from French into Mongolian “The Wanderings of a Chinese Buddhist of the 4th century. named Fa-syan”, from Manchu - “The Journey of Tulishen to Ayub Khan”. The first publications of the young Orientalist were enthusiastically received in Orientalist circles. His article “White Month. Celebrating the New Year among the Mongols" was published in the "Kazan Provincial Gazette".

In 1846, Dorji graduated from the university and defended his dissertation “Black Faith, or Shamanism among the Mongols.” In addition, he compiled the “Manchu-Russian-Mongolian Dictionary” (the manuscript is stored in the Eastern Library of Leningrad State University). A special place in scientific works occupies the study of such a monument as the “Chinggis Stone”. The monument to ancient Mongolian writing is a flat granite slab, it was found on the banks of the Kyrkyra River, one of the tributaries of the Amur. Currently, the “Genghis Stone” is in the Hermitage.

Having graduated from Kazan University with a candidate's degree, Banzarov, by order of the Highest, in August 1849 received permission to enter the service in Eastern Siberia with the advantages that came with an academic degree. On the basis of this permission, the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia appointed Banzarov to the position of an official of special assignments of the Main Military Directorate and promoted him to the rank of collegiate secretary.

On April 12, 1850, after a 15-year stay in European Russia, Dorzhi Banzarov left for his native land. The arrival of a fellow countryman - a great official and even a scientist - was greeted by his relatives as a great holiday. He was honored in every ulus. Unfortunately, Banzarov’s father had already died and could not rejoice at his son’s success.

What life, what death is a legend

Returning to Irkutsk, Dorzhi Banzarov received the position of titular adviser. At this time, he was investigating serious cases related to the machinations of noyons, lamas, and officials, and brought them to justice. But, despite being busy with official affairs, he found an opportunity for scientific studies. During this period, the scientist carried out a number of works: he made corrections to geographical maps, made trips to the Tunkinsky region to study the origin of the Soyots and their neighbors the Uriankhians (Tuvians), discovered the birthplace of Genghis Khan within Russia, translated “Travels” from Mongolian Zaya-Khamby to Tibet." In 1851 he was elected a corresponding member of the Siberian department of the Russian Geographical Society.

His short life did not allow Banzarov’s talent to fully reveal itself. He died on February 27, 1855 in Irkutsk. The corresponding entry is available in the “Irkutsk Chronicle of 1661-1940.” Yu.P. Kolmakova:

“...On February 27, 1855, Dorji Banzarov, a famous 19th-century Mongolist, an expert in the history and ethnography of the peoples of Central Asia, the first Buryat scientist, an official of special assignments of the Main Directorate of Eastern Siberia (GUVS), died in Irkutsk.

The exact cause of Banzarov's death is unknown. One of his contemporaries, Yumdy-lyk Lombotsyrenov, author of the chronicle “Bichikhan Note” (a summary chronicle of the Selenga clans), wrote that Banzarov was addicted to wine. However, in the scientist’s homeland, a different legend is recorded. It says that Banzarov was poisoned in Irkutsk by a man sent by a priest: “When Dorji Banzarov was supposed to be given the rank of general, the Irkutsk priest hired a man in the canteen and poisoned Banzarov with poison. Dorji immediately realized that he had drunk poison, and ordered his coachman to take him to church to pray, as before, and then bury him. When the coachman fulfilled Dorzhi Banzarov’s order, that is, brought his body to the church, the people who poisoned Banzarov and saw him near the church were afraid that he remained alive, they themselves took the poison and poisoned themselves. On the day when Dor-zhi Banzarov was supposed to be poisoned, the sale of milk and dairy products was prohibited at the market. They say that at Dorzhi Banzarov’s funeral he was awarded the rank of general.”

When Dorji died, his disciple Kholzan Mozoev and the lama were next to him. About the death of Banzarov, the head of affairs of the Siberian department of the Russian Geographical Society I.S. Selsky reported to Governor General N.N. Muravyov.

At the beginning of March, Banzarov's funeral took place. His body was erected on the funeral bier in the form of a magnificent chariot, on which was the Gombo Lama in bright clothes. Next came lamas in yellow robes, reading Buddhist prayers, followed by representatives of local authorities, townspeople and Buryats. The procession proceeded from the deceased’s apartment along Lyubarsky Lane, went out onto Laninskaya Street and moved along Zhandarmskaya to the Ostrozhny Bridge. Having crossed the bridge, she headed to the mountain behind the Irkutsk prison castle, where the cemetery was located. After performing religious ceremonies, the body was interred. Alas, the grave was soon lost.

Life is short - history is eternal

The first Buryat scientist Dorzhi Banzarov left us not only his original in content, extensive scientific works on oriental studies. First of all, he left a deep mark in the memory of the people, who carefully preserve the memory of their glorious son, creating legends, tales, and songs about him. Folklore material about Dorzhi Banzarov is historical evidence of the Buryat people themselves, who brought forward a gifted scientist from their midst.

Many scientists, not only ours, but also foreign ones, still turn to the scientific works of Dorji Banzarov today. The Buryat people highly honor the memory of their first scientist. A street in his native ulus is named after him. In 1947, the Buryat Pedagogical Institute, now a state university, was named after Dorzhi Banzarov. There is a monument in front of the institute building.

Streets in Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Kyakhta, Kazan and the village of Kyren, Tunkinsky district, are named after Dorzhi Banzarov.

Dorji Banzarov (1822-1855)

Banzarov

(Dorji, according to academician V.P. Vasilyev, should be written Dorje) - an orientalist, the son of a semi-wild Transbaikal Buryat Banzar, a Buddhist], belonged to the ancient Uriankhai family. In the city, he was assigned to state pay, along with other four Buryat boys, to the 1st Kazan gymnasium, where the teaching of oriental languages was strengthened that year. At the gymnasium, B. studied excellently, along with the best Russian students, and upon graduation he was transferred to the University, where he zealously continued to study oriental languages and in the city received a candidate’s academic degree, writing a dissertation: “On the black faith, or shamanism, Mongols" (published in the "Scientific Notes of the Kazakh University", g., book 3). At the end of the year, B. arrived in St. Petersburg. Here his main occupation was the study of Mongolian and Manchu books and manuscripts stored in the Asian Museum of the Academy of Sciences and the Public Library; for the Museum of Acad. sciences, he compiled a catalog of his books in the Manchu language (printed in “Bulletin de la classe historico-philologique de l’Acad. d. sc.”, t. V). With his scholarly works and knowledge of many Oriental and European languages, he attracted the attention of scientists and enjoyed great authority among Orientalists, who expected much from his research in the field of the Mongolian language. These expectations did not come true. Dismissed from the Cossack class, which included some Buryat clans, and appointed an official of special assignments under the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, with renaming to the rank of collegiate secretary, B. left for Irkutsk in May. Here his scientific activity began to decline. He began to shun all society and acquaintance and fraternized only with his relatives, the semi-wild Buryats. Last years Throughout his life, he was often ill, but he did not turn to doctors for advice, not trusting them, and he himself prepared medicines for himself according to Buryat recipes. He died in late February and was solemnly buried according to Buddhist rites on March 2 of the same year. Of his 13 articles, published in various publications, we will name two more: 1) “On the origin of the name Mongols” (in the “Library of Eastern Historians”, ed. by I. Berezin, vol. I, appendix II) and 2) “Paise, or metal tablets with Mongol orders. Khans" (in "Western Archaeologist, General", vol. II; here B. incidentally explains the label of Birdibek Khan given to Alexei, Metropolitan of Kyiv). In the city of B. he was elected a corresponding member of the archaeological society.

The article reproduces material from the Great Encyclopedic Dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron.

Banzarov Dorzhi (about 1822, Kutetuevsky ulus, Transbaikal region, - 1855, Irkutsk), the first Buryat scientist-orientalist. Born into a Buryat Cossack family. He graduated from Kazan University and was a student O. M. Kovalevsky. In 1847-48 he lived in St. Petersburg, studying scientific research V Asian Museum. In 1850-55 he served as an official of special assignments under the Governor General of the East. Siberia. While traveling around Siberia, he made acquaintance with the Decembrists; N. A. Bestuzhev painted his portrait. B.'s scientific heritage consists mainly of philological research. B.'s main work is “Black Faith, or Shamanism among the Mongols” (1846) - the first scientific work about shamanism. The Buryat Pedagogical Institute in 1947 was named after B.

Born into a Buryat Cossack family. He received his primary education at the Troitskosavsk military Russian-Mongolian school. Banzarov studied the Mongolian language and the history of Mongolia at Kazan University (1842–1846) at the Faculty of Oriental Studies. D. Banzarov as a scientist was formed under the influence of orientalists and Mongolians: O. M. Kovalevsky, A. A. Bobrovnikov, I. N. Berezin, Gomboev, V. V. Grigoriev, P. S. Savelyev, as well as leading representatives of Russian public thoughts: V. Belinsky, A. I. Herzen. After graduating from the university in 1846, D. Banzarov prepared his thesis “Black Faith, or Shamanism of the Mongols,” written on the basis of an in-depth study of Mongolian manuscripts, Chinese sources and materials from Russian and Western European travelers. This is the main work of the scientist; it provides an analysis of the ideological and philosophical system of Mongolian society during the period of tribal system and feudalism. According to Banzarov, shamanism is the simplest form of belief that appeared independently among the Mongolian peoples, and was not borrowed from other Asian peoples. In 1846 D. Banzarov published a popular science article “White Month. Celebration of the New Year among the Mongols" (in the newspaper "Kazan Gubernskie Vedomosti"), in which he substantiates the idea of the national origin and nature of this holiday. In 1847–1848 D. Banzarov was engaged in scientific research at the Asian Museum in St. Petersburg. In 1849 he published articles: “On the origin of the name “Mongol”, “On the Oirats and Uighurs”, “On the origin of the name Chinggis”, “On the name Erdene-hot”. In 1850–1855, D. Banzarov served as an official under the Governor-General in , and was engaged in scientific research. His short life did not allow his talent to fully reveal itself.

The scientific heritage consists of 15 published works and 3 manuscripts.

Biography

Born in 1822 into a family of Siberian border Cossacks. His father, Banzar Borgonov, was a Pentecostal sergeant (officer) of the former Ashehbat regiment, of Buddhist religion. At the age of 9, Dorji graduated from Kharantsay Parish School in one year. Then he studied for three years at the Troitskosavsk military Russian-Mongolian school. At the request of the Taisha of the Selenga Steppe Duma, N. in 1835 Banzarov was sent to study at the first Kazan gymnasium, where he studied from 1836 to 1842. During his studies at the gymnasium, he showed brilliant abilities. In addition to his native and Russian languages, he perfectly mastered Mongolian, Manchurian, Kalmyk, Tibetan and German languages. Well versed in Latin, Turkic, French and English languages. In 1842, the gymnasium council awarded him a gold medal for excellent academic achievements.

From 1842 to 1846, within the walls of Kazan University, he developed as a scientist. While studying at the eastern department of the Faculty of Philosophy, Banzarov wrote for his fellow tribesmen “General Geography” and “Grammar of the Mongolian Language”, translated into Mongolian from French “The Wanderings of a Chinese Buddhist of the 4th century. named Fa-syan”, from Manchu “The Journey of Tulishen to Ayub Khan”.

The young Orientalist's first publications were enthusiastically received in Orientalist circles. His article “White Month. Celebrating the New Year among the Mongols” was published in “Kazan Provincial Gazette” in No. 30 for 1846.

Banzarov’s candidate dissertation “Black Faith, or Shamanism among the Mongols” was published in “Scientific Notes of Kazan University” (Book III, 1846). In addition, in 1846 he compiled the “Manchu-Russian-Mongolian Dictionary” (the manuscript is kept in the Eastern Library of Leningrad State University). In a very short period of his life, Banzarov left an indelible mark on science, writing more than 25 works. A special place in scientific works is occupied by the study of such a monument as the “Chinggis Stone”. This monument of ancient Mongolian writing was a flat granite slab and was found on the banks of the Kyrkyra River, one of the tributaries of the Amur, where the palace of Prince Isunke, the son of Genghis Khan’s brother Khasar, was located. Currently, the “Genghis Stone” is in the Hermitage.

The most significant publication of the scientist’s scientific heritage is the book “Black Faith, or Shamanism among the Mongols.”

Having graduated from Kazan University with a candidate's degree, Banzarov, by Imperial command, in August 1849 received permission to enter service with the benefits associated with the award of an academic degree. On the basis of this permission, Banzarov was appointed to the position of official of special assignments of the Main Directorate of Military Affairs in 1850 and promoted to the rank of collegiate secretary.

Already in August 1850, he went on a business trip to Selenginsk to investigate Lombotsyrenov’s complaint about the misappropriation by the chief taisha N. Vampilov of 600 rubles in silver from a loan to the Buryat population in connection with the “failure of the herbs and grain harvest.” Banzarov traveled around the uluses of the vast territory of the Selenga Steppe Duma and interviewed 400 people. At the end of the investigation, he brought to justice the head of the Irino-Kharanut clan Zhambaldorzhiev and Lama Tulenkenov. The investigation did not confirm the complaint against the chief taisha N. Vampilov, who assumed this position in 1835, after the resignation of Yumdylyk Lombotsyrenov for embezzling public and government money, Lombotsyrenov wanted to regain power by slandering his successor. Banzarov objectively understood this matter. Lombotsyrenov is known as the author of the chronicle “Bichikhan Note” (a consolidated chronicle of the Selenga clans, compiled at the request of Professor O.M. Kovalevsky and currently stored in the scientific library of ISU) and the “Chronicle of the Selenga Buryats”. In the latter, the author did not pass over in silence the fate of the young scientist. He wrote:

« D. Banzarov was educated in Kazan, passed the exam in St. Petersburg and was appointed an official for particularly important matters under the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia. In 1850 he came to Transbaikalia, his homeland. Then he returned to Irkutsk to work, became addicted to wine and died in the 50s».

After completing this case, Banzarov went to the Kudarinsk Steppe Duma to check the complaint against the chief taisha Dambuev. The complaint was confirmed and Dambuev was brought to justice. B. strictly and responsibly conducted the investigation in order to find out the cause and stop arbitrariness on the part of the family nobility. In 1853 Banzarov became a titular councilor. A complaint was received against Banzarov in 1852. He considered the case by order of the military governor of the Transbaikal region. The results of the check are unknown.

Banzarov investigated serious cases related to the machinations of noyons, lamas, and officials and brought them to justice. From 1850 to 1855, despite being busy with official affairs, he found an opportunity for scientific studies. During this period, the scientist performed a number of works: he made corrections on geographical maps, explained on the map the points of the Chinese border in accordance with Russian and Manchu data, made trips to the Tunka region to study the origin of the Soyots and their neighbors the Uriankhians (Tuvians), discovered the birthplace of Genghis Khan within Russia, translated from Mongolian “Zaya-Khamba’s Travels to Tibet” "

In 1853 he received a salary of 571 rubles. 84 kopecks in year.
