Day of Remembrance for Victims of the Deportation of the Kalmyk People

Recognized as an act of genocide, Operation Ulus took place from the end of 1943 to 1944 at the height of the Great Patriotic War. By Stalin’s decision, about 93 thousand representatives of the Oirat group of the Mongolian ethnic group were expelled from the Kalmyk Autonomous Republic during the first stage of deportation.
