In December 1943 the Soviet government announced the dissolution of the Kalmuck Republic. The population were forthwith rounded up by the secret police and transported in cattle trucks to Siberian labor camps.
一九四三年十二月廿七日，蘇俄政府宣佈「解散」喀爾瑪克共和國，緊接著第二天凌晨，已經完成人口登記、行囊也收拾好了的喀爾瑪克族人，便靜靜地等候蘇俄秘密警察前來逮捕，用牛車將他們送往西伯利亞勞工營。
