The Republic of Buryatia, which is located in the Asian part of Russia not far from Lake Baikal, is a rarely visited Russian territory west of the Russian Far East. Abundant in natural resources but remote and dependent on federal subsidies, Buryatia is undergoing a difficult economic and social transition. Buryatia is one of the so-called “red” Republics. The government is garden-variety authoritarian, seeking to control leading industries. The 135,000 square kilometer Republic of Buryatia (Buryatia) is in southeastern Siberia --- east of Lake Baikal, north of Mongolia, and south of the Sakha Republic. Buryatia and its eastern neighbor Chita make up the Transbaikal Region. Buryatia is a mountainous territory covered with coniferous forests. Its Barguzin valley has favorable conditions for growing crops. Ulan-Ude, the capital of the Republic, was founded in 1666 and has a population of 380,000. The city has little crime and fairly good municipal infrastructure.
