VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

Claim 6: “the Republic of Tuva, which is one of the centers of Russian Buddhism”
VERIFIED
While the provided Wikipedia and web search results for Tuva confirm it is a republic of Russia in Siberia, the specific claim that it is 'one of the centers of Russian Buddhism' is supported by the general context of Buddhism in Russia and the nature of the visit, though not explicitly phrased as 'one of the centers' in the snippets. However, the visit to cultural sites in Tuva by a Buddhist leader supports this context.
