Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Mongolian nomadic groups came to be divided into two empires, the Russian Empire and the Qing Empire. These two empires had different state structures, political ideolo gies, religious and military policies, and so on. However, how these differences were reflected in the societies of Mongolian nomadic groups are little known. This paper explores the social structure and legal system of the Buryats under Russian rule, and compares them with the case of the Mongols under the Qing Empire. Through examining the case of the Buryats, who have left various laws written in Mongolian script but have been little studied, this paper aims to broaden the scholarship of Mongolian legal history that has so far largely been limited to Qing Mongolia. Furthermore, by comparing the administrative and legal institutions between the Buryats in Russia and the Mongols under the Qing, this article also intends to contribute knowledge to comparative empire studies.
