Письмо освещает полемику в среде бурятской интеллигенции в начале ХХ в. о выборе бурятской письменности, позволяет нам оценить степень участия М. Н. Богданова в этой полемике, проливает свет на эволюцию его взглядов и демонстрирует гибкость его мышления.

At the same time, a native intelligentsia emerged from the Buryats' steppes and forests in Irkutsk Province and Zabaikal'skaia Oblast to champion cultural survival alongside modernization. Like their Russian counterparts, members of the Buryat intelligentsia were concerned with the kinds of social and political ills that afflicted the Russian Empire as a whole-impoverishment and ignorance among the masses, glaring social inequality, and stifling restrictions upon political and intellectual life-but they aimed their thoughts, writings, and actions at ameliorating such problems in a specifically Buryat context, and this focus granted them a unique perspective. Robert Rupen noted that they spent their formative years "in a typical Mongolian setting," where they learned and shared their folklore and superstitions. They received superb educations and even wrote academic works in the Russian language, which they spoke and wrote with great proficiency. And while they traveled widely across all of the Russian Empire and even to Western Europe, "they always remained Mongols, with close ties to their native land." 1 One of the most prominent of these Buryat intellectuals who straddled East and West, and tradition and modernity, was the scholar and activist Tsyben Zhamtsarano.

One of its significant, yet relatively unsung, members was Bato-Dalai Ochirov (1874 or 1875-1913). He is best known as the only Buryat ever to serve in the Russian State Duma (in the short-lived Second Duma in 1907). Yet over the course of his short life, Ochirov also was an administrator, political activist, author, philanthropist, and supporter of culture and science. This article provides an overview of Ochirov's life and seeks to elucidate his worldview, which stressed the defense of Buryat interests using the possibilities available within the existing autocratic order.
