History

The Supreme Council of the Republic of Kalmykia announced the proclamation of the sovereignty of the republic in October 1990. On the 18th, the Supreme Council of the Kalmyk Autonomous SSR adopted the Declaration on State Sovereignty, according to which the Kalmyk ASSR became the Kalmyk SSR. Reflections on the coat of arms and the flag did not find this change. By resolution of the Supreme Council of 20 February 1992, No. 336-IX, the Kalmyk SSR was renamed the Republic of Kalmykia (). In accordance with the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Kalmyk SSR from 7 June 1991, No. 243-P -1X, a competition was announced in the republic to create new state symbols of the Kalmyk SSR. As a result, the Supreme Council of Kalmykia approved the anthem on 30 October 1992, along with its music and lyrics. The anthem was also approved by the separate Law of the Republic of Kalmykia of 4 November 1992 "On the Supplement of the Constitution (Basic Law) of the Kalmyk SSR Article 158-1".
