Buryatiya, also spelled Buryatia, republic of Russia in eastern Siberia. Buryatiya lies along the eastern side of Lake Baikal, with a panhandle bordering Mongolia and extending westward beyond the southern end of the lake.
It was created in 1923 by the union of the Buryat-Mongol and Mongolo-Buryat autonomous oblasti (provinces) and was called the Buryat-Mongol Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic until 1958 and simply the Buryat A.S.S.R. from then until 1991.
