Ivolginsky datsan in Buryatia. From Eastland.ru.

Designs will be selected this month for the construction of two new Buddhist temples in Moscow, one in the Poklonnaya Gora (“Bow-down Hill”) war memorial park and the other in Otradnoye District.

Poklonnaya Gora is home to the “Poklonnaya Gora Great Patriotic War Memorial,” as well as an orthodox church, a synagogue, and a mosque. The construction of buildings of worship from different religions here is to commemorate the combined efforts of soldiers of these faiths during World War II, and the new temple will be devoted to the Buddhists who sacrificed their lives. President Vladimir Putin told the lamas of the Ivolginsky datsan (an important state-protected Buddhist temple in Buryatia, Russia) that “Buddhism plays a significant role in Russia. . . . It has always been that way. It is well known that the Buddhists helped during both world wars.”- Read The Full Historic: http://enews.buddhistdoor.com/en/news/d/48615
