Explanation:
At the top of the coat of arms, which is meant as consciousness, there is a dorvn toolg - a symbol of the union of the four Oirat tribes - these are the origins of the Kalmyk people. This ancient sign also means life in peace and harmony with all peoples inhabiting the four corners of the world.
In the central part of the coat of arms, where the soul is implied, there is a lancer of the hall.
Historical origin of the Ulan Hall:
In 1437, the Oirat leader Gogon-taisha signed a special decree on the obligatory wearing by the Oirat of the uhlan zala on their headdresses, as a distinctive sign from other peoples of the East.
In 1750, Dondeok Daishi issued a law confirming the above decree.
And finally, in 1822, at the Zenzelinsky meeting of Kalmyk noyons, zaisangs, lamas and gelungs, a decision was made: “Everyone should have a lancer on their cap and every man should wear a braid”...
Ulan Hall contains a symbolic meaning. When Buddhists pray and meditate, according to the teachings of the Buddha, the millennial leaf opens on the back of the head. White Lotus. When they pray, they fold the palms of both hands and raise them above their heads. At this moment, by Buddhist teachings, the door of consciousness opens. Then the worshipers touch their hands to the chin, mouth and chest, thereby opening the doors of speech and soul. This ritual carries with it the purification of the mind, consciousness, speech and soul, as well as the knowledge of the truth. This ritual also implied that a person’s consciousness was always open. Therefore, the wearing of a lancer hall (on the highest place - the head), symbolizing the sacred white lotus, was introduced.
In the circle framing the ulan hall and the dorvn toolg, a “zeg” ornament is depicted, testifying to the nomadic way of life in the past and the bright path of prosperity.
The basis of the coat of arms is a white lotus - a symbol of spiritual purity, rebirth and prosperity.
The coat of arms has blue, yellow and white colors.
Blue color means eternity, freedom and constancy. This is the favorite color of the steppe nomads. Yellow- this is the color of the religion of the people, this is the color of the skin and, finally, this is the personification of the fact that Kalmykia will always be sunny.
The Ulan hall is crowned with a white khadak. White color means our peaceful views, friendly relations with all peoples living both in Kalmykia and beyond its borders.
By State emblem Kalmykia is the artist Erdneev Bata Badmaevich. The coat of arms was adopted based on the results of a competition for best project The State Emblem and State Flag of the Republic of Kalmykia, in which Badendaev S.N., Montyshev V.M., Khartskhaev D.Kh., Erdneev B.B. participated.
The flag of the Republic of Kalmykia - Khalmg Tangchin Tug is a rectangular panel of golden-yellow tsevt, in the middle of which there is a blue circle with a white lotus flower consisting of nine petals. The flag is attached to a staff topped with a red tip in the shape of a “tongue of flame” with the contour outlines on it of the ancient symbol of the Derben Oirots - four crossed circles, at the base of which is the “Ulan of the Hall”. The aspect ratio of the flag is 1:2.
The yellow fabric of the flag, as well as the color of the coat of arms, signifies the religion of the people, the color of their skin, the sun-drenched republic. In the center of the flag there is a blue circle in which a white lotus is depicted, meaning the road to a bright future, to prosperity, well-being and happiness of the peoples of Kalmykia.

In 1917 after February Revolution The Steppe region of the Kalmyk people was created. In this regard, V. Saprynov notes: “On March 26, representatives of the Volga Kalmyk uluses who gathered in Astrakhan accepted the banner of the Kalmyk steppe zemstvo administration - a red velvet banner with images of the sun, Buddha, and the inscriptions: Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood.” The author of the flag is the architect V. Valdovsky-Varganik.
In 1920, the Kalmyk Autonomous Region was formed. The official seals of those years depicted various symbols labor: rake, scythe, sheaf of wheat.
When the Kalmyk Autonomous Region was renamed the Kalmyk Autonomous Region in 1935, it did not have a coat of arms or flag. Their descriptions were given in the Constitution adopted two years later. The basis was the coat of arms and flag of the RSFSR. The inscriptions, including the name of the republic, were duplicated in Russian and Kalmyk languages.
With the adoption of the new Constitution in 1978, the coat of arms of the republic underwent the same changes as the coat of arms of the RSFSR - in top part a red star has been added. The flag remained unchanged.
In October 1991, the Supreme Council of the KASSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty, according to which the ASSR was transformed into the Kalmyk SSR. However, in February 1992, the KSSR was renamed the Republic of Kalmykia - Khalmg Tangch and a competition was announced to create new state symbols. At the end of October of the same year, the flag and anthem were approved, and the competition for the coat of arms was extended.
The flag was a rectangular panel of three horizontal stripes: the top one was azure, the middle one was golden yellow and the bottom one was red. In the center middle zone, in a circle with a diameter of one quarter the width of the flag, there was a sign in the form of a flame of fire above two wavy lines. The scarlet sign and circle meant life, light, rebirth, prosperity and hearth.
The musical and poetic work “Halmg Tangchin Chastr” (music by Arkady Mandzhiev, lyrics by Vera Shugraeva) was recognized as the national anthem.

In April 1993, on behalf of the President of the Republic Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, work on creating a new flag and coat of arms intensified. The reason for replacing the flag was that the previous one was a tricolor and practically did not stand out among the others. A bright, non-standard image was needed. This is how new state symbols were born.
The current coat of arms of the republic is an image of “ulan zala” and “khadyg” in a golden-yellow circle framed by the national “zeg” ornament on a blue background, at the base of which are lotus petals. In its upper part there is an ancient symbol of the Derben-Oirats - four circles fastened together. The flag consists of a golden-yellow panel, in the center of which there is a blue circle with a white lotus flower of nine petals. The golden color symbolizes Buddhism, the sun, blue - the color of the sky, eternity and constancy. Lotus is a traditional symbol of purity, happiness, spiritual rebirth. Its five petals, directed upward, symbolize the five continents, the four lower ones - the cardinal directions.
The description of the flag says that it is “a rectangular panel of golden yellow color, in the middle of which there is a blue circle with a white lotus flower consisting of nine petals.” The flag is attached to a staff topped with a red tip in the shape of a “tongue of flame” with the contour outlines of the Derben-Oirat symbol on it, at the base of which is the “lancer of the hall”.
On July 5, 1993, a new Constitution was adopted - the Steppe Code. Modern name- Republic of Kalmykia - included in the Constitution of the Russian Federation in February 1996. In the same year, the Law “On state symbols RK", establishing their descriptions and the procedure for official use. The coat of arms of Kalmykia is included in the State Heraldic Register under No. 150, the flag - under No. 151.
The symbols of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation have a very specific purpose. State symbols, as a rule, reflect cultural, historical, and national characteristics.

The official flag of Kalmykia was designed for the anniversary of the hundred-day reign of President of the Republic Kirsan Ilyumzhinov and adopted on July 30, 1993. This year the republican flag of Kalmykia celebrated its twentieth anniversary.
The final edition of the text on the flag and coat of arms is given in the law “On State Symbols of the Republic of Kalmykia” dated June 11, 1996.
The national flag "is a rectangular panel of golden yellow color, in the middle of which there is a blue circle with a white lotus flower consisting of nine petals. The upper five petals of the lotus represent the five continents of the globe, the four lower petals - the four cardinal directions, symbolizing the aspirations of the peoples of the republic to friendship and cooperation with all peoples of the world.
The state flag of the Republic of Kalmykia - Khalm Tangchin is tightly attached to a pole topped with a red tip in the shape of a “tongue of flame” with the contour outlines on it of the ancient symbol of the Derben Oirats - four circles fastened together, at the base of which is the “Ulan Zala”.
The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 1:2".
The white nine-petalled lotus of Kalmykia, or Khalm Tangch ("Khalm" is the self-name of the Kalmyks, "tangch" is the country, land, the whole country or land of the Kalmyks, that is, Kalmykia), is a symbol of spiritual purity, revival and prosperity. The choice of lotus is determined by the content of the transformation program in Kalmykia.
The number of petals indicates that the ancestors of the Kalmyks - nomads - grazed livestock for nine months a year. The circle in which the flower is depicted means eternal movement towards purification and prosperity.
The tip in the shape of a “tongue of flame”, or trikula, is the emblem of Buddhism (Kalmyk believers are Lamaist Buddhists). Four circles fastened together symbolize the union of four related tribes created by the Oirats tribe (Derben - in Mongolian means four, Derben-Oirats - four union), from which a people gradually formed, whose name is Kalmyks (Oirats - ancestors, Kalmyks - descendants). Ulan zala - a red tassel, as if blooming like a fan, symbolizes the thousand-petalled sacred white lotus.
The state emblem “is an image of “Ulan Zala” and “Khadyk” in a circle of golden yellow color framed by the national ornament “zeg” on a blue background, at the base of which are the petals of a white lotus flower. In the upper part of the coat of arms is an image of the ancient symbol of Derben Oiratov - four circles fastened together."
Khadyk - white fabric in the form of a scarf - a symbol of peace, kindness, generosity. The zeg ornament testifies to the difficult nomadic way of life in the past and the bright path of prosperity chosen by the Kalmyks. About the colors of symbols. Golden yellow is the color of the people’s religion, the color of wealth, the hope that Kalmykia will always be sunny. Blue is associated with the blue of the eternal sky, so it represents eternity, immortality, constancy, freedom. White means the peaceful views of the Kalmyks, their friendly attitude towards representatives of all peoples living both in Kalmykia and beyond its borders.
(Viktor Saprykov, Russian Federation today)
By the decision of the Elista City Assembly dated June 16, 2004 “On the coat of arms of the city of Elista of the Republic of Kalmykia,” the Regulations on the coat of arms of the city were approved.
The coat of arms of the city of Elista is compiled according to the rules and corresponding traditions of heraldry and reflects historical, cultural, national and other local traditions. The coat of arms of the city of Elista is a symbol expressing the identity and traditions of the city. The coat of arms of the city of Elista is a monument to the cultural history of the city.
The regulations on the coat of arms and drawings of the coat of arms of the city of Elista in the following versions: multi-color, one-color and one-color using conventional shading to indicate colors are stored in the City Hall of the city of Elista and are available for review to all interested parties.
The heraldic description of the coat of arms of the city of Elista reads:
"The coat of arms of the city of Elista is a heraldic shield consisting of three colored fields.
The red part of the field is a symbolic gate made in oriental style, against which the name of the city “Elista” is written. The city got its name from a ravine, one slope of which was sandy “elsn”.
The khadak descending from the gate with the vertical Kalmyk letter “todo bichig” represents the people themselves, their ancient history, culture, its spiritual roots.
The history of the city continues on the right side of the coat of arms. On a green field there are three snow-white tents with doors facing the viewer. The Kalmyks set up their summer nomadic camps in the Elista gully, as it was rich in springs. There was greenness, abundance and life. The Kalmyk’s home has always been open and hospitable, which is a condition for the peaceful well-being and happiness of his native land.
The composition is completed (the description follows the course of the sun) with a blue field with a yellow disk of the sun. Poeticized in folk epic, V oral creativity, in literature, the “eternal blue sky” symbolizes purity, constancy, and reliability. It constitutes, as it were, the leitmotif of the whole decision, for the sun here also absorbs the meaning of yellow - the color of the sun. It is this that the Kalmyks associate with the concept of life - generous, prosperous, happy.
Thus, the coat of arms of the capital of the Republic of Kalmykia, the city of Elista, embodies the history of the city and characterizes the people."

The ancestors of modern Kalmyks, who roamed the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, in an area called Sekizmuren (Eight Rivers), were conquered by Genghis Khan in 1208 and in the Mongol army formed the left wing - dzuun gar (hence the names - Dzungars, Dzungaria). Initially, the Kalmyks lived in Dzungaria (which was the name of the vast country between Altai, Tien Shan, the Gobi Desert and Lake Balkhash; in our time, only the northern part of East Turkestan or Xinjiang is called Dzungaria), where, after the fall of the Mongol Yuan dynasty in China in 1368, the Tsoros tribes ( Dzungars), Derbets, Torgouts and Khoshouts entered into an alliance "Derben Oirot", i.e. “four close ones”, whence the first historical self-name of the Kalmyks - Oirots (“close ones”). At the beginning of the 17th century, with the increasing onslaught of the Khalkha Mongols, Han feudal lords and Kazakh khans, the ancestors of the Kalmyks migrated to the Russian state. In the Volga steppes, Kalmyks (over 250 thousand people in 50 thousand tents) appeared in 1632 under the leadership of the Torgout Khan Kho-Urlyuk and occupied the left and right banks of the Volga River from Samara to the Caspian Sea and Kuban. In 1635, the example of Kho-Urlyuk was followed by the Khoshout tribes, led by Turu-Baihu (Gushi Khan), who did not want to obey Bator Khuntaiji, who in 1638 proclaimed himself the All-Oirat Khan.

Slide description:
Since then, the modern self-name of the Kalmyks has appeared - “khalmg”, literally “remnant”, i.e. those who did not submit to Bator Khuntaiji. In the sparsely populated steppes of the lower Volga, along the Don and Manych, they formed the Kalmyk Khanate, inner life which was determined by the “Steppe Code” (Tsaarzhin bichik). Due to the oppression of the tsarist administration in 1771, the overwhelming majority of Kalmyks, led by Ubushi Khan, went to China, 2/3 of whom died during the transition. In the Kalmyk steppe, only that part of the Kalmyks remained, 13 thousand families, who did not have time to cross the Volga and were detained by the tsarist administration. The Kalmyk Khanate was abolished and the Kalmyk uluses were transferred to the administration of the Astrakhan provincial authorities. In the 1780-90s. Don Kalmyks were included in the Don Army Region and were included in the Cossack class. In 1861, Bolshederbetovsky ulus was transferred from Astrakhan to Stavropol province. On March 25, 1917, Kalmyk noyons and zaisangs convened a congress, which petitioned the Russian Provisional Government for the creation of a Kalmyk Cossack army and autonomy for the Kalmyk people. On July 1, 1917, by decision of the Provisional Government, the Steppe Region of the Kalmyk people was formed, and in September 1917, a separate Kalmyk Cossack army. On November 4, 1920, by a joint resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, the Kalmyk Autonomous Region was created from parts of the territories of the Astrakhan, Tsaritsyn, Stavropol provinces, Don and Terek regions.
