Buddhist collection from the collection of the State Classical Academy named after Maimonides: Quantitative analysis

The subject of this article is the Buddhist collection from the collection of the State Classical Academy named after Maimonides in the context of the anti-religious policy of the Soviet state in the 1920-1930s. At the initial stage of the study, a hypothesis was put forward that the quantitative majority of items dedicated to individual deities in the collection is due to the greatest preferences of the Kalmyks, which was confirmed during the quantitative analysis of the collection inventory.
