Abstract
The paper examines socio-political views of N. Maslakovets (1833–1908), a remarkable executive and military leader in post-reform Russia, a chronographer of Don Kalmyks. It publishes excerpts from Nomadic Territories of Don Kalmyks: A Statistical Description (Novocherkassk, 1874) characterizing the then conditions of agriculture — namely, livestock breeding — among the Don Kalmyks. The book was prepared by the author when the latter was serving as a member of the Land Survey Commission of Don Host Oblast, and is the earliest comprehensive domestic study of Don Kalmyks viewed as a separate sub-ethnos.
