Abstract
With evidence from the Republic of Kalmykia, the article studies the nature of statehood of the federal subject of Russia, “ethnic” aspect of the region’s statehood, rights, duties and guarantees for the preservation and development of Kalmyk national culture and language. The paper defends the thesis that ethnic statehood is an organic part and the basis for the wider concept “statehood of the Republic of Kalmykia” where the ethnic culture and language serve as the corner stone of ethnocultural self-determination of the Kalmyk people – the subject bearer of ethnic statehood.
