The Great Game and Expeditions into Central Asia
The turbulence and ferocity of Tibet’s history is in strange contrast
to its spiritual dynamism and aesthetic independence. Buddhist doctrines
and imagery pervaded the country when Russian and British travelers
arrived in the 19th century. The Anglo-Russian rivalry, known as ‘The
Great Game’, developed as scholars and spies from each power juggled
for entry and influence. In 1905 the Russian explorer Kozlov visited
Mongolia and he retuned with two drawings of the thirteenth Dalai
Lama. The circumstances of his visit are the subject of this lecture.
