Ancient Ethnic Origins of Baikal Images and Their Modern Applied Significance in Politics and Business

Abstract
The authors show that the image of Baikal has evolved from the concept of the northern and inner sea (tengiz) with its similarity to many ice ponds to the source of wealth and the center of healing, sacred and spiritual resources. The article considers to what extent the version about the stay of Chingiz Khan on Baikal and his island Olkhon, as well as the mention from Mongolian sources about the burial of this warrior at the “big water Baigal”. In political terms, the article rejects the thesis of radical Chinese figures that Lake Baikal was part of China, on the contrary, it shows that these places could not have been native to the Chinese Xiongnu captives: “ten years lived with barbarians in cruel captivity”.
