December 2025 marked the 75th anniversary of the birth of Doctor of Philosophy and Professor Leonid Evgrafovich Yangutov. The pioneering nature of L. E. Yangutovʼs scholarly work is evident: he was among the first in Russian scholarship to undertake research into
the philosophy of Chinese Buddhism; he developed a methodological foundation for analyzing the teachings of Chinese Buddhist schools and principles for an integrated approach to studying the philosophical and soteriological content of Buddhism in Central Asia and East Asia; and, under his leadership, the first comprehensive study of Buddhism in Russia, Central Asia, and East Asia was conducted. In memory of his extraordinary contribution to Russian Oriental stu-dies and to the study of Chinese philosophy and religion, this article presents a complete bib-liography of L. E. Yangutovʼs works.
