Kalmykia was established in 1920 as an autonomous oblast’.
In 1936 it became republic (ASSR).
Chris Kretowicz, 06 Jun 2001
On 20 October 1935, Kalmukia ASSR was created and a flag was probbably
adopted, but is unknown.
Jaume Ollé, 25 Nov 1996
In 1938 the cirilic alphabet was adopted and a new flag was hoisted.
Jaume Ollé, 25 Nov 1996
Kalmyk ASSR was abolished in 1944 when the Kalmyks were deported
for alleged collaboration with the Nazis.
Chris Kretowicz, 06 Jun 2001
Kalmyk Autonomous Province was abolished during the
Second World War, when,
in common with many other ethnic minorities, the Kalmyks were deemed to
have displayed insufficient enthusiasm for fighting for Communism. The
customary mass deportations followed. An Autonomous Republic was
re-established in 1958.
Stuart Notholt, 17 Sep 1995
In 1957 they were allowed to return and the area was reestablished
as an autonomous oblast’. It regained ASSR status in 1958.

In 1957 or 1958 the republic was restablished and flag in Russian
pattern was adopted. A source says that it was adopted in 1954, but
that is probably is uncorrect. Mark Sensen gives the following dates:
Abolished: 27-12-43,
Restablished: 2-7-58
Jaume Ollé, 25 Nov 1996
In 1957 Kalmyk ASSR was restored (along with
Chechen-Ingush ASSR,
Kabardino-Balkar ASSR and
Karachai AR). Flags attributed to these entities between
1944 and 1957 are, certainly, due to an error.
