Resumen

The paper refers to archive sources to reconstruct the record of the Altai Spiritual Mission and explores the social and political factors that hindered the organiza- tion’s missionary causes in Altai in the early 1900ies. Ideals and beliefs at the core of Burkanism and the aspects of their establishment across Gorny Altai are out- lined. Problems of material procurement of the Altai Mission are addressed based on the analysis of income structure. A breakdown of the 1910-1911 spending cal- culation points at a considerable positive budget trend of the Altai Mission. The paper identifies the role of the Orthodox Missionary Society and philanthropists in providing funding for the mission and draws a conclusion that in absence of direct state support for religious education of the native peoples of Siberia the possibility emerged for the formation of non-state religious educational structures.
