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, he perfectly mastered the 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 is occupied by 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.

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.

The scientist Dorzhi Banzarov was born in 1822 in the Ichetui Valley, in the family of the Cossack Pentecostal Banzarov B. His parents decided to teach Dorzhi Russian literacy, and in September 1833 they sent him to the Troitskosavsk military school. The boy studied easily and successfully, showed curiosity about everything, showed brilliant abilities and completed his school course with flying colors.

In 1835, among four Buryat boys, he was sent to Kazan to a gymnasium and in June 1842 he graduated from the first Kazan gymnasium with a gold medal. In the same year he entered the philological department of the Faculty of Philosophy of Kazan University. The university opened a new world for Banzarov - the world of science. In addition to Mongolian and Russian, he mastered Manchu, French, German, English and Latin, and also knew the Turkic language.

In 1846, Dorji graduated from the university and defended his dissertation on the topic “Black Faith or Shamanism among the Mongols.” It showed a deep analytical mind and the independence of his scientific thinking. On July 22, 1846, Banzarov’s scientific publication appeared on the pages of the newspaper “Kazan Provincial Gazette” - the article “White Month. Celebrating the New Year among the Mongols."

On October 11, 1848, he published the article “Paijie or metal tablets with the commands of the Mongol khans.” On April 12, 1850, after a fifteen-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, every yurt. Unfortunately, Banzarov’s father had already died and could not rejoice at his son’s success. The life of Dorji Banzarov himself was also short-lived - cut off from his circle of friends and scientists, he died at the age of 33.

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 1992, on the 170th anniversary of the birth of Dorji Banzarov, a monument was unveiled near Toronto, where the scientist was born. The village library has a corner dedicated to Dorji Banzarov.

About the childhood of Dorji Banzarov

Told by Darisuren Tsydypov (71 years old), a resident of Nizhny Ichetuy

“Dorji Banzarov was born in the area of ​​Sarbadayn Khutel, where people of the Uriankhai clan used to live. This area is located two kilometers southwest of the village of Nizhny Ichetui and was called “Banzarai buusa”, i.e. Banzara camp. Dorji was the son of Banzar Borgonov, who had 5 sons Lochon, Dzonduy, Dorzho (future scientist), Badma and

Kharagshana. The first two sons were sent to huvaraki, and therefore had no children. Dorji was not married. Badma and Kharagshan each had one son. Badma's son Dzantu was the ataman of the Gegetui village, and Dzantu's son Bubei lived until 1929 at the Banzara camp, wandering in winter to the southern side of Mount Shuleg. Kharagshan, the youngest brother of Dorji, had one son Danj, who also had one son Rinchin.”

About tribal affiliation

The area of ​​Sarbadayn Khutel, where the Uriankhians used to live, as already mentioned, is located two kilometers from the village of Nizhny Ichetui. It is still inhabited mainly by Buryats of the 1st Tabangut clan. From this we can assume that the ancestors of Dorzhi Banzarov lived among the Buryats of the 1st Tabangut clan and were administratively classified as Tabanguts. In this regard, it is appropriate to recall the letter of Dorji Banzarov, written to Alexei Bobrovnikov on March 15, 1847, in which he writes: “Greetings from Dorji, son of Banzarov, from the Uriankhai generation, who arrived from the Mongolian country...”.

Undoubtedly, the ancestors of Dorzhi Banzarov belonged to the Uriankhai clan, and not to the Tabangut clan.

About the death of Dorji Banzarov

In the scientist’s homeland in 1971, from Dorzhi Tsydypov (61 years old), a legend about the death of Dorzhi Banzarov was 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 him with poison. Dorji immediately realized that he had drunk poison and ordered his coachman to take him to church first to pray, as had happened 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 Dorji Banzarov was supposed to be poisoned, selling milk and dairy products was banned at the market. They say that at Dorzhi Banzarov’s funeral he was awarded the rank of general.”

Traditions and legends about Dorji Banzarov

The first Buryat scientist Dorzhi Banzarov left us not only his “original in content, extensive in topic” 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 among their midst.

In Banzarov’s homeland, in the Nizhny Ichetui ulus, some oral information about him has been preserved, which has almost become a legend. This information, collected in April 1971, makes it possible to talk about some details of the life and activities of Dorzhi Banzarov in Siberia and Transbaikalia. They also deserve attention because they provide a popular assessment of Banzarov’s social activities.

About the affairs of Dorzhi Banzarov

Dolgor Sarzhytovna Dorzheeva (75 years old), fellow countrywoman of Dorzhi Banzarov, “As a child, I heard the following from old people: Dorzhi Banzarov lived in a wooden house, was a big man, traveled to uluses and datsans on business, wrote down legends and songs. He dressed in a Buryat robe.” Thus, in folk memory, Banzarov is depicted not only as being occupied only with the affairs of the service, but also as being interested in the oral folk art of the Buryats.

The famous local historian I. S. Selsky wrote about the period of his life in his native ulus:

“... after several years spent in Kazan and St. Petersburg in dry academic studies, he suddenly returns to his coveted herdsmen, and there his native shelter, the wonderful spring of the Borgoi steppe, the red-cheeked countrywomen suddenly bring him closer to the indispensable living conditions of the steppe Mongol, and to that minutes Banzarov belongs to his own..."

According to local elders, Dorji Banzarov enjoyed great respect and love among his fellow countrymen. People often turned to him with various questions; they saw him not only as a representative to the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, but also as an assistant and defender of their interests.

The image of Dorzhi Banzarov, the first Buryat scientist, who glorified his people with his intelligence and talent back in the middle of the 19th century, lives in the folklore of the Buryat people and not only in the scientist’s native ulus, but also in other regions of Buryatia and the Irkutsk region.

Main part of the report

The past is the most instructive

The future is the most alluring

The present is the most responsible

The ancestry on my grandfather’s side begins with the Tabanguts, one of the Sartul clans.

The founders of the clan were Otogol and Batan. Otogol had no sons, but Batan had 4 sons: Galsan, Dardai, Dalai and Aradnay. At Aradnaya there is Dorzhi, at Dorzhi there is a Bazaar, at the Bazaar there is Pyat, at Pyat there is Banzar. Banzar had 4 brothers: Kharagshan, Daa, Badma and Dorji Banzarov - a future scientist. Since Dorji Banzarov died at a young age, he had no children. And his brothers Kharagshan and Badma had children, successors of the Banzarov family. Kharagshan has Dashnaa, Dashna has three sons: Dorji, Soyjit, Rinchin. Of these, only Soyzhit had a son, Zhigmit. Zhigmit had three sons - Budazhap, Sanzhi, Oidop. Of these, Budazhap is my great-grandfather. He had no sons, only two daughters: Handa and Pagma. They are both my great-grandmothers, Pagma gave birth to my grandfather Gongor and gave him up for adoption to her sister Handa. And Handa, my great-grandmother, raised him as her own son.

My grandfather has three daughters - Aryuna - my mother, Lena, Katya.

This family tree was compiled by my grandfather, and my great-grandmother Handa told him about it. Together with my grandfather and grandmother, I read Tsydendambaev’s book “Dorji - the son of Banzar.” Now I know how Dorji Banzarov’s childhood passed. His father forced and convinced Dorji to do well in his studies. The parents taught their son Russian literacy so that he could communicate with Russians. When he was 9 years old, he entered the Kharatsay School. Then he studied at the Trinity School. Dorji studied easily and successfully. During his three years of study, he achieved great success in his studies. He graduated from Kazan gymnasium with a gold medal. During his years of study, he learned to speak Mongolian, Manchu, Kalmyk, Tibetan and German, Latin, Turkic, French and English.

Dorji Banzarov has written more than twenty-five (25) works. His essay “Black Faith or Shamanism among the Mongols” is especially valuable.

On April 12, 1850, after 15 years in European Russia, Dorzhi Banzarov left for his native land, Transbaikalia. 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, every yurt. Unfortunately, Banzarov’s father had already died and could not rejoice at his son’s success. The life of Dorzhi Banzarov himself was short-lived - cut off from his circle of learned friends, he died at the age of 33 in the prime of his life. He was buried on March 2 in Irkutsk.

On September 19-20 of this year, as part of an expedition in the Dzhidinsky district, I walked through the places where Dorji Banzarov had been - in the village of Selenduma, in the village of Novoselenginsk, Selenginsky district. Visited the Decembrists Museum. It turns out that Dorzhi Banzarov was familiar with the Decembrists... In Ulan-Ude, I participated in a rally near the monument to Dorzhi Banzarov.
