Description
Red Shambhala Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia In the early twentieth century, the legendary land of Shambhala played a significant role in Russian geopolitics. Andrei Znamenski's book presents a unique perspective on this period, drawing on archival sources and memoirs to explore how spiritual adventurers, revolutionaries, and nationalists exploited Shambhala to further their agendas. From the Bolsheviks' attempts to use Mongol-Tibetan prophecies to promote their ideology, to the clandestine activities of the Communist International in Mongolia, Znamenski sheds light on the complex and often sinister forces at play. This book delves into the lives of individuals such as Gleb Bokii, Nicholas Roerich, and Ja-Lama, who were caught up in these events. Through its exploration of Shambhala's role in early Soviet history, this book offers a fascinating and erudite look at a pivotal moment in world history.
