Repressed residents of Kalmykia to receive one-time payments

Residents of Kalmykia who suffered from the Stalinist repressions were assigned one-time payments of 10,000 roubles to mark the 80th anniversary of the deportation of the Kalmyk people.

On December 28, 1943, in accordance with the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the liquidation of the Kalmyk ASSR (Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic), the NKVD troops carried out an operation to evict Kalmyk people to the regions of Siberia and the Far East. The Kalmyk people were accused of state treason, joining military detachments organized by the Nazis, and organizing an anti-Soviet rebel movement. The deportation of Kalmyk people was also considered as a means of resolving the national-political conflict (as defined by Joseph Stalin) with the Kalmyks. The total number of evicted Kalmyks was about 120,000 people.

The decree on one-time payments was published on the official website of Batu Khasikov, the head of the region.

Since 2004, the republic marks December 28 as the Remembrance Day of the Victims of the Deportation of the Kalmyk People.
