Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Kalmyk Deportation

December 28th is the annual Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Deportation of the Kalmyk people, established as a memorial day of the Republic of Kalmykia by the Law of the Republic of Kalmykia of October 13, 2004 No. 156-III-Z. The date marks the start of Operation Ulusy on December 28th 1943, when the Kalmyk ASSR was abolished and the Kalmyk population was forcibly deported. In past years the Central Khurul has held a memorial yoral (moleben) at 09:00, followed by a public commemorative gathering and wreath-laying at the Exodus and Return Memorial.
