68 SECURING THE TREATY RIGHTS
the mission was the Lama, Dorzhievy (Dorj ieff), and its
chief object was a rapprochement and the strengthening
of good relations with Russia. It was said to have been
equipped by the Dalai Lama, and despatched with auto-
graph letters and presents from him to His Imperial
Majesty. And, among other things, it was to raise the
question of the establishment in St. Petersburg of a per-
manent Tibetan Mission for the maintenance of good
relations with Russia.
This Dorjieff, it appeared from an article in the Novoe
Vremya of June 18 (July 1), 1901, was a Russian subject,
who had grown up and received his education on Russian
soil. He was by birth a Buriat of Chovinskaia (in the
province of Verchnyudinsk, in Trans-Baikalia, Eastern
Siberia), and was brought up in the province of Azochozki.
He had settled in 'Tibet twenty years before his present
visit to Russia. This reappearance of the 'Tibet Mission
in Russia proved," said the Novoe Vremya, that the
favourable impressions carried back by Dorjieff to his
home from his previous mission have confirmed the Dalai
Lama in his intention of contracting the friendliest rela-
tions with Russia. . . . A rapprochement with Russia
must seem to him [the Dalai Lama] the most natural
step, as Russia is the only Power able to frustrate the
intrigues of Great Britain."
Count Lamsdorff, however, in conversation with the
British Ambassador* on July 3, 1901, characterized as
ridiculous and utterly unfounded the conclusion drawn in
certain organs of the Russian press, that these Tibetan
visitors were charged with any diplomatic mission." He
said Dorjieff was a Mongolian Buriat of Russian origin,
who came occasionally to Russia with the object, he
believed, of making money collections for his Order from
the numerous Buddhists in the Russian Empire. Count
Lamsdorff added that on the occasion of Dorjieff's visit in
the previous autumn to Yalta, the Emperor had received
him, and he himself had had an opportunity of learning
some interesting details from him of life in Tibet ; the
Russian Geographical Society also took an interest in his * Blue-book, p. 166.
