FOREIGN DEMONS IN MONGOLIAN AND CENTRAL ASIAN BUDDHISM THROUGHOUT THE TIME influences. In this paper also the Tocharian word /u / luwo for “animal” is proposed as a Sino-Tibetan loanword since it looks and it functions as similar words in Altaic. Then in a newer layer there is a direct source in Tibetan Buddhist canon with proper name Langdarma and several syncretic processes incorporating theonym /uus not only for “dragons” or “spirits”, but connecting it with older /us with syncretic formation of new types of deities appearing in Mongolian Buddhist pantheon, in ritual habits and texts. And finally in modern times there are two marginal but intentional connections of Lenin (Slavic) + Langdarma (Tibetan) and Sinicized term for Sanskrit raksasa + Sinicized Slavic ethnonym for Russians in both cases with change r- > l-, i.e. = Ewenki Luuta / Luuéa “Russian; monster” with this ethnonym appearing also in Buryat.
