The Oirat-Kalmyk people have suffered greatly at the hands of the Kremlin. After Putin announced a partial mobilisation in the Republic of Kalmykia, people began to be massively taken to the military registration and enlistment offices. The mobilisation plan in the region was over fulfilled twice. Since the Oirat-Kalmyk people are not numerous, each person counts. Moreover, the majority of Kalmyks oppose the war unleashed by the Kremlin. Representatives of the republic protested, but the participants were detained or sent to the front line of the war against Ukraine. How does Putin use Stalinist methods against the Kalmyks, while the local authorities, sent down from Moscow, overfulfill their mobilisation plans? Are the Oirat-Kalmyks ready to fight for their independence and restore their own country? Find out about all this in the new episode of UATV English ‘The Nation’ documentary.
