Shamanic Rituals as Sites of Religio-Cultural Revival: A Statistical Analysis of the Demographic and Cultural Differences of Attendees at Shamanic Ceremonies in Buryatia, Russia

Abstract

The name was changed to Udinsk around 1735, then Verkneudinsk in 1783. The final change to Ulan-Ude (Red Uda) took place in 1934 as part of a "Sovietization" movement. 26 Some scholarship refers to those who go to shamans as "shamanists", however this term is not uniform. The term client is used here as consistent with Quijada (2009).
