In August 2009, it was 400 years since a significant part of the Oirats, a Mongolian-speaking people living in Western Mongolia, together with their families, livestock and property, covered a distance of more than 6 thousand km, migrated to the vast steppes of the Lower Volga region and voluntarily accepted citizenship of the Russian state. This people became widely known as the Kalmyks, the only people in the European part of Russia and throughout Europe who profess Buddhism. In connection with this significant event in the history of the Kalmyk people and the entire multinational and multi-confessional Russia, the Republic of Kalmykia has developed and is implementing an extensive program of commemorative events.

On September 13-18, 2009, Elista hosted the international scientific conference "United Kalmykia as part of United Russia: Through the Centuries to the Future", dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the voluntary entry of the Kalmyk people into the Russian state. The organizers and sponsors were the Government of the Republic, the Kalmyk Institute for Humanitarian Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (KIGI RAS), Kalmyk State University and other scientific and educational institutions of the Republic, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian National Science Foundation. The conference was attended by about 300 scientists from Kalmykia, 25 other regions of the Russian Federation, as well as from Mongolia, China, Japan, Germany, Kazakhstan, and Abkhazia*.

The conference received numerous greetings, including from the head of the Republic of Kalmykia K. Ilyumzhinov and other leaders of the republic, the leadership of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Presidium, UNC and Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, scientific and educational institutions of a number of subjects of the Russian Federation, representatives of the Buddhist and Orthodox Churches, foreign delegations, etc. This scientific forum was the first project that opened a series of numerous and diverse events included in the national program of celebrating the anniversary. Therefore, the leadership and scientific institutions of the republic, first of all KIGU RAS, paid close attention to its preparation.

Describing the general atmosphere at the history section, one of the Kalmyk participants called it "a true celebration of historical thought." This definition can reasonably be applied to the entire conference. Russian and foreign participants were impressed by the scale and wide representation of scientific centers and universities in many regions of Russia and foreign countries. Suffice it to say that among the participants were more than 100 doctors and 115 candidates of sciences. The organizing committee of the conference received about 300 reports, which the organizers published by the beginning of the conference in the form of a collection of materials consisting of two books with a volume of over 1 thousand pages. The Chairman of the National Commission of Mongolia for Cooperation with UNESCO, N. Urtnasan, who participated in the conference, noted with satisfaction that he had never seen such a large number of Russian Mongolian scholars. The organizers showed the best traditional qualities of the Kalmyks-hospitality, attention

Lushnikov (branch of the Institute of History and Archeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Perm) "The role of the Mongol Empire in forming the foundations of the Eurasian civilizational community".

Taking into account the large number of reports submitted and the lack of time, the work of the section was intensive, but organized and interesting. During the meetings, several proposals were made, including regularly posting on the Internet information about new publications of KIGI RAS on Kalmyk and Mongolian studies, and coordinating the work of Russian military historians to study the participation of national units in the Russian Army.

The section "Ethnolinguistic landscape of Eurasia: language and written heritage" discussed a wide range of problems related to the description of language from the point of view of the"world view".

Presentations were made in four working languages of the conference: Russian, Kalmyk, Mongolian and English.

The study of the linguistic landscape of Eurasia is an important area of modern Mongolian studies. The analysis of language as the most important form of realization of general cultural paradigms within the framework of not only one, but also several ethnic groups is a perspective for the development of national and world Mongolistics in general.

The actual linguistic part of the reports was devoted to the problems of semantic reconstruction of the worldview of the Proto-Mongols and, more broadly, the Proto-Altaians, as well as issues of lexicology, dialectology, terminology and grammar of the Mongolian languages.

Within the framework of the section, a round table meeting "Problems of preserving the native language and written heritage of the Mongolian-speaking peoples of Russia" was held, dedicated to the 410th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Oirat educator, creator of the "clear writing" (todo bichig) Zai-pandita Namkai Jamtso (1599-1662).

The work of the sections and the round table was accompanied by a lively discussion and was very fruitful. Recommendations were developed for introducing the written heritage of the Kalmyk people into scientific circulation, studying and publishing it, improving the efficiency of teaching the Kalmyk language in schools in Kalmykia, resuming the activities of the State Commission on Terminology and Toponymy, and introducing the reformed spelling of the Kalmyk language into the national education system.

At the final plenary session, general recommendations were adopted, in particular, the desire to unite the efforts of Russian scientists to prepare for the 200th anniversary of the Patriotic War of 1812. In this regard, it was decided to appeal to the leadership and public of the Republic of Kalmykia with a proposal to restore the historical and cultural monument of friendship of peoples and military valor - Hosheutovsky khurul. The conference participants supported the idea of applying to UNESCO with a proposal to include the Kalmyk national heroic era.-
