The publication includes interesting archival data collected by the Tibetan doctor Pyotr Alexandrovich Badmaev (1851? -1920) - a special one close to the emperor and the royal family. He was close to the people who were in favor at court - Grigory Rasputin and his protégé Hieromonk Iliodor. Badmaev's field of activity was not limited to the manufacture of miraculous remedies, which enjoyed great success in the court circle, and it would be all the more erroneous to think that Badmaev was a figure resembling any ignorant healer. No, it was a "big flight bird."
