2. The National Museum of the Republic of Buryatia.

The Museum's collection holds a unique edition of the “Ostrog Bible”, the first complete Slavonic edition, printed at Ostrog town in Russia. It was printed by a Russian printing pioneer, deacon Ivan Fedorov, and prepared through the joint efforts of the Orthodox Prince Konstantin of Ostrog and the circle of scholars gathered around the Ostrog school (academy) in 1580-1581. The publication of the Bible was a major event in the ecclesiastical and cultural life of Eastern Europe and played an exceptional role in the history of Russian Orthodoxy. The text of the “Ostrog Bible” is "pre-Nikon" (which means it had been translated and printed before Moscow Patriarch Nikon carried out the Russian Church reforms between 1652 and 1666) and is sacredly revered by all Old Believers.

The museum's collection contains unique Old Believer icons painted in accordance with Old Russian and Byzantine canons. The pre-Nikon icons were valued by Old Believers, who believed that the traditions of “true” iconography were lost after the schism, and the “new” icons were considered “ungrateful”. Some of the copper-cast items such as icons, folding icons, and eight-pointed crosses were also preserved. Cast icons were more suitable for the conditions of constant relocation, and despite the official ban on the production and use of copper icons, Old Believers continued their production and achieved unprecedented technical and aesthetic perfection of their handiworks. Old Believers' copper-cast crosses and icons were usually between 4 and 30 cm in size and were often made of bright yellow copper, with a background filled with blue, yellow, white and green enamel. The crosses and icons possessed the features of Old Believers' art objects such as bipartite, inscriptions or titlo, an extended symbol used in early Cyrillic manuscripts. The floral and geometric ornamentation was also widespread on these works.
