Chronology of the colonization of the
Buryat- Mongols 1629-1727
The main reason for the advance of the Russian Empire in Siberia was the thirst for profit. In the 16th century fur stocks in the Urals began to dry up, and Muscovy sent colonizers further east to seize fur inheritances, as well as enslave the Siberian peoples to pay yasak.
The Income from the export of soft gold accounted for one-third of the Moscow budget.
In Russian schools, in history lessons, they taught us that the Siberian natives were voluntarily annexed, voluntarily baptized, and voluntarily russified. It is a time to review these colonial views.
