The article offers a review of the George Roerich Annual International Meeting, the conference dedicated to the memory of G. N. Roerich. Traditionally, there participate the scholars whose research interests correspond to the main areas of activity of George Roerich (russ.: Yurii Nikolaevich Rerikh 1902-1960), the outstanding scholar, artist and traveller. Most of the contributions are original studies on the little-studied areas of culture, philology, philosophy, and art of Tibet, India, and other countries associated with this area. Similarly to the last year, the contributions were united under a joint title “Text and the Genesis of Notions and Meanings in Culture”. While exploring the material of ancient and medieval authentic texts, the speakers dealt with a variety of theoretical problems related to the formation of culture and the specific features of the generation, translation and functioning of the text.
