Abstract
The article highlights activities of archival institutions of the Republic of Kalmykia aiming to collect and use documents dealing with issues related to victims of political repressions, including questions of their publication. The paper outlines a history of the identification and delivery of documents of Kalmyk soldiers and noncommissioned officers deported to the forced labor camp of Shirokovskaya Dam — to the Information Center of Kalmykia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs. It analyzes activities of the Republican Commission for the Restoration of Rights of Rehabilitated Victims of Political Repressions (peoples and citizens) under the Government of the Republic of Kalmykia, including ones aimed at obtaining copies of documents from the Central Archive of the Russian Ministry of Defense according to which ethnic Kalmyk soldiers and non-commissioned officers were recalled from the frontline to join support works in rearward areas. Copies of these documents were submitted to the Archival Committee of the Republic of Kalmykia.
