Welcome to our exciting interview, where we will talk about modern Kalmykia and the prospects for its development. In the studio today are Aldar Erenjenov, a Kalmyk activist, and Elmira Nogoibaeva, the founder of the Esimde project from Kyrgyzstan.
Aldar will talk about modern Kalmykia, how it is changing and facing the challenges of our time. We will discuss what trends are currently relevant for the Kalmyk people. Let's find out why activists, awakening Kalmyks, play a key role in the preservation and development of the Kalmyk language. Aldar will speak in detail about his experience in this field and their important mission.
Let's figure out who the Oirats are, and why the Kalmyks and some peoples of Central Asia are considered related peoples. We will look at the historical context and contemporary views on this topic. Let's find out whether there is truth in the fact that Kalmyks eat horse meat, and what traditions are inherent in this people. Also, Aldar will talk about his merch project with the inscription “Not Russian” and explain the meaning of this message.
Listeners will learn about the complex history associated with the deportation of the Kalmyk people to Siberia and the ban on the use of their native language. Aldar will talk about the fate of activists promoting the Kalmyk language today, and how they are persecuted, accused of separatism.
The path to self-knowledge and the future of the Kalmyks and their diaspora - the interview will also touch on the topic of how Kalmyks are trying to get out of colonial thinking and understand who their friends really are and who their enemies are in a global context. We will also discuss the prospects for the development of Kalmyks and their diaspora.
