==History== In 2005 the Limansky District saw sectarian conflict between the native Kalmyks and Chechen migrant workers over an incident involving a monument on the grave of Kalmyk Eduard Kokmadzhiev. After a Kalmyk was killed during the clashes, the Kalmyks organized a pogrom of the Chechen population with houses being set on fire with support from the local Russian administration.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chernin |first1=Velvl |title=Kalmykia: Ethnic Separatism in the Lower Volga Region |url=https://besacenter.org/kalmykia-ethnic-separatism-in-the-lower-volga-region/ |website=besacenter |access-date=14 January 2025}}</ref>
