Who is Dorji Banzarov to write in Buryat? Dorzhi Banzarov is the first Buryat scientist. Life is short - history is eternal

The Uro-woman of Transbaikalia, in addition to his native and Russian languages, perfectly knew Mongolian, Manchu, Kalmyk, Tibetan and German. Author of more than 25 works, a Mongolian scholar was appointed in Irkutsk as an official for especially 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-Tuy valley, into a family of border Cossacks. In addition to him, the family had four more sons - Lochon, Dzondui, Badma and Kharagshan. Father, Banzar Borgonov, was a Pentecostal sergeant (officer) of the former Ashebagat regiment.

The parents decided to teach Dorzhi Russian reading and writing, since the 9-year-old son graduated from the Kharantsay parish school in just one year. After that, in September 1833, he was sent to the Troitskosavskaya military Russian-Mongolian school.

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

After graduating from high school, in the same 1842, Banzarov entered the eastern department of the philosophy faculty of Kazan University. The university opened the world of science to Banzarov. Here, for five years, he formed himself as a scientist: he wrote for his fellow tribesmen "General Geography" and "Grammar of the Mongolian language"; translated from French into Mongolian "Wanderings of the Chinese buddist of the IV century. by the name of Fa-xiang ", from Manchu -" The journey of Tulishen Ayub khanu ". The first publications of the young Orientalist were met with enthusiasm in the circles of Orientalists. His article “White month. Celebration of the New Year among the Mongols ”was published in the“ Kazan Gubern vedomosti ”.

In 1846 Dorzhi graduated from the university, defended his thesis "Black Faith, or Shamanism among the Mongols." In addition, he compiled the "Manch-Zhursko-Russian-Mongolian Dictionary" (the manuscript is kept in the Eastern Library of Leningrad State University). A special place in scientific works is occupied by the study of such a monument as "Chinggis's stone". The monument to ancient Mongolian writing is a flat granite slab found on the banks of the Kyrkyra River, one of the Amur tributaries. Currently, the Chinggis Stone is in the Hermitage.

After graduating from Kazan University with the degree of candidate, Banzarov, by the Imperial order in August 1849, received permission to enter the service in Eastern Siberia with the advantages that were relied on with an academic degree. On the basis of this permission, the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia appointed Banzarov to the post of an official for special assignments of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs 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.

That life, that death is a legend

Returning to Irkutsk, Dorzhi Banzarov was promoted to titular adviser. At this time, he was engaged in the investigation of serious cases related to the machinations of noyons, lamas, 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 performed a number of works: he made corrections on geographical maps, made trips to the Tunkinsky Territory to study the origin of the Soyots and their neighbors Uryankhais (Tuvinians), discovered the birthplace of Genghis Khan within Russia, translated from Mongolian “Travel Zaya-Khamby to Tibet ". In 1851 he was elected a corresponding member of the Siberian Department of the Russian Geographical Society.

A short life did not allow Banzarov's talent to fully unfold. He died on February 27, 1855 in Irkutsk. The corresponding record is available in the "Irkutsk Chronicle of 1661-1940." Yu.P. Kolmakova:

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

The reliable cause of Banzarov's death is not known. One of his contemporaries, Yumdy-lyk Lombotsyrenov, the author of the chronicle "Bichikhan note" (a summary chronicle of the Selenga clans), wrote that Banzarov was addicted to wine. However, a different legend is recorded in the homeland of the scientist. It says that Banzarov was poisoned in Irkutsk by a man sent by a priest: “When Dorzhi Banzarov was to be given the rank of general, the Irkutsk priest hired a man in the dining room and poisoned Banzarov with poison. Dorji immediately realized that he had drunk the poison, and ordered his coachman to take him, as it were, before to pray to the church, and then bury him. When the coachman fulfilled the order of Dorzhi Banzarov, that is, he 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 poison and were poisoned. On the day when Dor-zhi Banzarov was supposed to be poisoned, it was forbidden to trade milk and dairy products in the market. They say that at the funeral of Dorzhi Banzarov was awarded the rank of general. "

When Dorji was dying, his student Holzan Mozoev and the lama were with him. On the death of Banzarov, the ruler of the Siberian Department of the Russian Geographical Society I.S. Rural reported to Governor-General N.N. Muravyov.

Ban-zarov's funeral took place in early March. His body was erected on the funeral cart in the form of a magnificent chariot, on which was the Gombo Lama in bright clothes. The lamas followed in yellow robes, reciting Buddhist prayers, followed by representatives of the local authorities, townspeople and Buryats. The process proceeded from the apartment of the deceased along Lyubarsky lane, went to Laninskaya street and moved along Zhandarmskaya street to the Ostrozhny bridge. Crossing the bridge, I went to the mountain behind the Irkutsk prison castle, where there was a cemetery. After performing religious ceremonies, the body was buried. 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 cherish the memory of his glorious son, creating legends, tales and songs about him. Folklore material about Dorzhi Banzarov is a historical testimony of the Buryat people themselves, who nominated a gifted scientist from their midst.

TO scientific works Dorzhi Banzarova and today many scientists, not only ours, but also foreign ones, apply. 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. A monument is erected 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, in the opinion of Academician V.P. Vasiliev, should be written as Dorje) - an orientalist, the son of the half-savage Transbaikalian Buryat Banzar, a Buddhist], belonged to the ancient Uryankhai family. In the city, he was assigned to government support, along with four other Buryat boys, to the 1st Kazan gymnasium, in which the teaching of oriental languages \u200b\u200bwas strengthened that year. At the gymnasium B. studied excellently, along with the best students from the Russians, and upon graduation he was transferred to the University, where he zealously continued to study oriental languages \u200b\u200band in the city received a candidate's degree, writing a dissertation: “On the black faith, or shamanism, from Mongols "(printed in" Uchenye Zapiski Kaz. Univers. ", city, book 3). At the end of Mr .. 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 Acad. sciences, he cataloged his books in Manchu (printed in "Bulletin de la classe historico-philologique de l'Acad. d. sc.", t. V). With his scholarly works and knowledge of many Eastern and European languages, he attracted the attention of scholars and enjoyed great prestige among Orientalists, who expected much from his research in the field of the Mongolian language. These expectations did not come true. Dismissed from the estate of the Cossacks, to which some Buryat families are numbered, and appointed an official for special assignments under the governor-general of Eastern Siberia, with a renaming into the rank of collegiate secretary, B. in May g. Left for Irkutsk. Here his scientific activity began to decline. He began to shun any society and acquaintance and fraternized only with his relatives, semi-wild Buryats. In the last years of his life, he often got sick, but did not turn to doctors for advice, not trusting them, and he himself made medicines for himself according to Buryat recipes. He died in the last days of February and was solemnly buried according to the Buddhist rite 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 of Mongols" (in the "Library of Eastern Historians", published by I. Berezin, vol. I, appendix II) and 2) "Peise, or metal plaques with Mongol orders. khans "(in" Western archaeologist, general. ", vol. II; here B. along the way explains the label Birdibek-Khan, given to Alexei, Metropolitan of Kiev). In B. was elected a corresponding member of the archaeological society.

Banzarov Dorzhi (about 1822, Kutetuevsky ulus of the Trans-Baikal region, - 1855, Irkutsk), the first Buryat scientist-orientalist. Born into the family of a Buryat Cossack. Graduated from Kazan University, was a student O. M. Kovalevsky. In 1847-48 he lived in St. Petersburg, doing scientific research in Asian Museum.In 1850-55 he served as an official for special assignments under the governor-general of Vost. Siberia. While traveling in Siberia, he made acquaintance with the Decembrists; N. A. Bestuzhev painted his portrait. The scientific heritage of Byelorussia consists mainly of philological research. B.'s main work - "Black Faith, or Shamanism among the Mongols" (1846) - the first scientific work on shamanism. Buryat Pedagogical Institute (1947) was named after B.

Dorzhi Banzarov was born in March 1822 in the Buryat ulus of Ichetui, in the valley of the Dzhida River. He was the fifth son in the family, who was named Dorji (diamond). His father Banzar Borgonov was engaged in cattle-breeding, led a nomadic lifestyle and belonged to the Cossack class.

In 1833, a Russian-Mongolian school was opened in the city of Troitskosavsk, which is 4 versts from the famous trading settlement of Kyakhta. It was a special three-year school for preparing children of Buryat Cossacks for service as clerks, translators and police officers in the Troitskosavsky border administration and in four Buryat Cossack regiments, formed back inXVIII in. for the protection of the state border in Transbaikalia, together with Russian Cossacks. They took mainly children of Cossack elders at the age of 10 to 12 years. During the entire academic year, which lasted from September to May, they lived in a boarding house, and their content fell entirely on the Cossacks themselves. This school was to become the first rung of the ladder leading to the summit of knowledge.

At the age of 11, Dorji was sent to this school. Classes were held six days a week, four lessons a day (the lesson lasted an hour and a half), on Wednesdays and Saturdays they were engaged in military exercises for one hour. In addition to the common school subjects for them (reading and calligraphy in Russian, Russian grammar, arithmetic, Russian geography, history and drawing), children were taught to read and write in Mongolian, Christian doctrine in theology lessons was replaced by the basics of Lamaism, and military exercises were introduced.

In December 1835, four of the best students of the Russian-Mongolian school were sent to Kazan to continue their studies at the gymnasium, among them was Dorzhi, who parted with his native land for 15 long years, and the rest forever. The gymnasium in which Banzarov and his comrades were to study was considered the oldest in the country; it opened back in 1758 as part of Moscow University. The internal schedule of the gymnasium was severe. Pupils who lived in gymnasium boarding houses got up at five in the morning. After breakfast, they went to the educational building and from 9 to 12 o'clock studied in the classroom. Then they rested until 3 o'clock and sat down at their desks again. From 3 to 9 o'clock we were busy preparing the lessons the next day, and after dinner at 10 o'clock we went to bed. Much attention was paid to languages. Dorji studied the following languages: Mongolian, Turkic, Latin, English, Tibetan, Turkish, French, Tatar languages. When the time came to take the final exams, in addition to languages, they had to pass rhetoric, logic, history of Russian literature, arithmetic, general and Russian history, general and Russian geography, cosmography, general and Russian statistics. And in June 1842 Banzarov brilliantly passed all the exams and graduated from the gymnasium with a gold medal.

After that, he enters the Eastern Department of Kazan University. The daily routine at the university was as follows: lectures began at 9 am and ended at 2 pm. Then - lunch break until 4 o'clock. After a break, music, dancing, drawing up to 6 hours. While still a student, D. Banzarov discovered a penchant for scientific work. He wrote "General Geography" in Mongolian and "Grammar of the Mongolian language", translated from French into Mongolian "Wanderings of a Chinese BuddhistIV century by the name of Fa-Xiang ", from Manchu he translated" Toumeshen's Travel "and other translations. In 1846 D. Banzarov graduated from Kazan University with a candidate's degree for the dissertation "Black faith or shamanism of the Mongols" presented by him. At that time, it was the first and only work specifically devoted to the origin of shamanism.

A year later, Banzarov leaves for Petersburg to seek expulsion from the Cossack estate, since according to the then existing situation, being a Cossack, he had to serve in the army for 25 years. The solution to this issue delays him in the capital. He used this time very fruitfully to replenish and deepen his knowledge, worked in the public library and the Asian Museum of the Academy of Sciences. In St. Petersburg, D. Banzarov wrote and published five research works, including two articles in German "On two Central Asian alphabets" and "Explanation of one Mongolian inscription". In 1949, a decree of the Senate of power was issued (which actually deprived him of the opportunity to study science) on the transfer of D. Banzarov to the Cossack service. He was sent to Irkutsk as an official for special assignments under the governor-general of Eastern Siberia. Office circumstances developed in such a way that he often had to travel for a long time to remote districts and Buryat steppe dumas. The authorities did not give him the opportunity to do what he loved and turned a talented scientist into an official, obliged to "investigate abuses." Diseases made themselves known. Years of life and study on state content in the gymnasium and university did not pass without a trace for Banzarov. The scientist died in 1855 at the age of 33 in full bloom of his creative powers. They buried Banzarov at the Irkutsk cemetery near Rabochaedomskaya Sloboda.

For his time, he was a man of unusual and even unique destiny. Coming from the bottom, thanks to a favorable coincidence of circumstances and exceptional natural talent, he managed to get a gymnasium, and then a university education, inaccessible to the masses of his relatives. A brilliant scientist, fluent in several European and Eastern languages, a researcher of the antiquities of the East, Banzarov did a lot to the glory of Russian oriental studies. His name was given to the oldest higher educational institution - the Buryat State Pedagogical Institute, streets in Ulan-Ude and Kyakhta. Near the Buryat State University, on a rectangular concrete pedestal, there is a full-length bronze figure of D. Banzarov designed by the honored art worker of the RSFSR Timin A.I. In his right half-bent hand, the scientist holds an open book, in his left - a pen. In the upper part of the pedestal there is a marble plaque with the text: "To the first Buryat scientist Dorzhi Banzarov (1822-1855)".

In 1833 he graduated from the Nikolaevo-Ataman School. From 1833 to September 1835 he studied at the Troitskosavskaya Russian-Mongolian school. Sent to study at the Kazan gymnasium. On January 25, 1836 he entered the first grade of the gymnasium. In June 1842 he graduated from high school with a gold medal and the right to enter the university.

In September 1842 he entered the Kazan University at the Faculty of Philosophy, which had an oriental rank.

On June 5, 1846 he graduated from Kazan University. At the university he studied oriental languages: Mongolian, Kalmyk, Manchu, Sanskrit, Turkish. He read fluently in German, English, French and Latin. He was a student of Osip Mikhailovich Kovalevsky, one of the founders of scientific Mongolian studies. He defended his thesis for the degree of candidate of Tatar-Mongolian literature.

In 1846, in the "Scientific Notes of Kazan University" published the work "Black Faith, or Shamanism among the Mongols."

In 1847-1849 Banzarov conducted scientific research at the Asian Museum of St. Petersburg. Elected a corresponding member of the Russian Archaeological Society. In 1848 he published the work "Paizie, or metal plates with the orders of the Mongol khans."

In 1848-1850 he worked in Kazan. He studied document management in the office of the Kazan province.

In 1850-1855 he served in Irkutsk as an official on special assignments under the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia Nikolai Nikolaevich Muravyov-Amursky. He lived in Kyakhta and Chita. In Verkhneudinsk he worked on investigative matters. During this period Banzarov published the work "Explanation of the Mongolian Inscription on the Monument of Prince Isunka, the nephew of Chinggis Khan" (1851), dedicated to the interpretation of the inscription on the "Chinggis Stone".

In 1851 he was elected a corresponding member of the Siberian Department of the Russian Geographical Society. Carried out the instructions of the VSORGO.
