Abstract:
In 1765, near Tsaritsyn on the Volga, a German settlement was established and named Sarepta. The settlement was founded due to the so-called colonization policy initiated by the Russian Empress Catherine the Great to encourage the economic development of territories in the South of Russia. While Sarepta was one of many foreign settlements established in the Lower Volga region in the late 18th century, it was sharply different as to the social status of its inhabitants and some preferences and benefits they received from the Russian Government. Those preferences and benefits were granted due to the special relationship of the Sarepta founders with the Russian state authorities.

Abstract:
In 1765, on the Volga near Tsaritsyn a Moravian settlement of Sarepta was established. As a missionary settlement Sarepta existed up to 1892. Despite its close contacts with the surrounding world, Sarepta for a long time managed to preserve the traditional Moravian way of life. But by the end of the 19th century, a serious social crisis had matured which caused abolishment of the Moravian community in Sarepta in 1892. This event marked the end of a process of the missionary settlement transformation into a secular village.

Abstract:
This paper provides an overview of Kalmyk collections in German museums. The objects of research are the artifacts of the traditional culture representing economy, nomadic way of life and Buddhist worship. The author considers the cultural heritage of the Republic of Kalmykia and reveals the composition and content of Buddhist art collections from the Ethnographic Museum (Herrnhut) and the State Ethnographic Museum (Dresden). These collections were obtained during the Herrnhuters’ missionary activity in the Kalmyk encampments in the 18th–19th centuries and require further comprehensive museological study combining methods of art history, history and ethnoculturology. The paper focuses on the comparative study of the ethnic specifics of the Buddhist iconography from German and Russian museums.
