At the end of December 1943, the entire population of Kalmykia (Kalmyk SSSR) were packed into cargo wagons and transported to various locations in Siberia: Altai Krai, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Omsk Oblast, and Novosibirsk Oblast.

They were allowed to return after 1956, but the majority did not survive exile.
