Zusammenfassung:Using results from a 2010 survey conducted in the Republic of Buryatia, this paper compares the responses of Russians and Buryats on questions of religious practice and belief, as well as the role of religion and religious organizations in the political sphere of contemporary Russia. Buryats more commonly identify with a religion and more frequently attend religious services in comparison to Russians liiving in the Republic. There is greater consonance between the two groups on the public role of religion, with both Russians and Buryats generall supportive of the recent extension of religious education into schools and the creation of national holidays for all traditional religions, among other issues.
