The idea initiated by our local religious organization “Moscow Buddhist Center “Three Jewels” acting as an official contractor-developer has moved off dead center due to the years long arduous work, primarily and permanently supported by the State Duma Deputy Larisa Shoigu. The invaluable help in the official ceremony of land consecration organization was rendered by the President of the Russian Federation on domestic policy and the Department of interregional cooperation, national policy and relations with Moscow Religious Organizations.

It is a significant event as this year is the 250th anniversary of the official recognition of Buddhism in Russia.

Erection of the memorial Buddhist temple at the Poklonnaya Gora will remind about a common struggle of the Tuvinians, Kalmyks and Buryats against fascist invaders during the Great Patriotic War in 1941-1945. The temple will be located not far from an Orthodox church, Jewish synagogue and Muslim mosque.
