lol, what a coincidence. I was just doing some research on Buddhism. I am not sure if this will tell you specifically about Buddhist monks in Russia, but maybe this will start you on your way. Also, try Wikipedia.com\n\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/entry/Buddhism\n\nhttp://www.phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=10789&article=Gyudmed+monks+built+the+prayer+wheel+in+the+Russian+Buddhist+Republic+of++Kalmykia\n\nhttp://www.buddhistchannel.tv/index.php?id=3,1735,0,0,1,0\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/3528/indexe.html

The Black Book of Communism. Its over 800-pages (but there are small chapters and summaries about people such as Castro.)\n\nThis book has world-wide claim, it was written by people who've come from communist countries and have studied it for a living. It's quite brilliant. I've read most of it. It's not pro-communist so if you are a commie, you'll get offended by the truth.\n\n\n\n-\n\nWhy the hell did I get 2 thumbs-down? Does everyone love communism here?

My dear friend, \n\nBelow I have done my best to try and explain the sects of Buddhism to level comprehensible to the general public; I sincerely hope it helps you.\n\nHowever, I first must briefly touch on the answer given by [Ronin], which is undoubtedly more a source than an answer.  To comment, our friend here has asked us to help her understand the differences between the branches of Buddhism, as she hasn't "been able to understand them perfectly and was wondering if anyone could put them into layman’s terms for [her]".  Citing wikipedia does neither for her, and I believe you may even insult her by suggesting she does not know how to search for information.  People come her, to the answers services because they have been unsuccessful in their quest for an answer; hence it is up to people who may know the answer to try and assist them in any way that we can, and not simply throw them more incomprehensible information.\n\nA period after the pir-nirvana of the Lord Buddha, the "Elders" and the "Novices" of Buddhism had an argument regarding the preservation of offerings for an overnight situation.  This let to a fine separation into 2 factions of Buddhism: Theravada and Mahasamghika (Elders and Novices) - the terms used previously are given in the ancient language Sanskrit.  In fact, the Mahasamghika was the stepping stone or hint that another form of Buddhism would take place, and that form would be known as Mahayana Buddhism.  Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to the world by Nagarjuna Buddha (or Nagarjuna Bodhisattva - depending on tradition), and the Mahasamghika slowly dissipated into another form of Buddhism, known as Hinayana.\n\nSo to briefly bring things into perspective:  Hinayana, Mahayana and Theravada.  However, this is not the end yet.  Some people actually place Theravada Buddhism under the banner of Hinayana Buddhism.  So, there are mainly the two branches: Hinayana and Mahayana (but readers please take note, it is not that I am in total agreement of this; I merely wish to use it as an example to simplify matters).  Now, to help you understand the differences.  Places like Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Sri Lanka, India etc are all examples where Hinayana Buddhism is prominent; their Dharma Robes are easily distinguished tending to look like a very large cloth wrapped around their body.  Countries like China, Taiwan, Korea, Tibet, Japan etc are all examples where Mahayana Buddhism is prominent; their Dharma Robes are not so easily distinguished tending to vary from tradition, but one thing is certain, and that is they often have a look of Chinese Tang Dynasty Royal Family robes.\n\nWell, "is that all", you ask?  No, because within the Mahayana tradition there is another lineage of Buddhism, known as the Tantrayana (or Vajrayana).  All the countries mentioned in the category of Mahayana fit this description, but please take note that there is an extremely large amount of overlapping.  And to complicate matter even further, these branches of Buddhism are separated in another general manner:  Exoteric and Esoteric.\n\nSo to conclude:\nExoteric Buddhism - Hinayana Buddhism (Thailand, Sri Lanka...etc)\n             - Mahayana Buddhism (Taiwan, Korea, China)\n\nEsoteric Buddhism-Tantrayana Buddhism (China, Tibet, Japan)\n\nRemember, it all depends in what context you are speaking of.\n\nI hope I have helped you, and would appreciate criticism and education from the learned friends of the world wide web.\n\nvhy

There's a lot to the Russian culture (just like any other - arts, traditions, music, food, clothing, etc.), and a lot of websites out there that describe it. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I am Russian so I can probably answer any detailed questions you have. E-mail me if you want to know anything in particular - aia4spoc@yahoo.com
