Мемориализация участников Великой Отечественной войны в книгах памяти районов и сел Калмыкии

The article gives the analysis of the memorialization process of the residents of the Kalmyk ASSR — the participants of the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945 in the memorial books of the regions and villages of Kalmykia. Nowadays, in the regional historiography there are memorial books of the four regions (Priyutnenskiy, Tselinniy, Yashkulskiy and Chernozemelskiy) and the three village municipal units (Chilgir, Erdnievskiy and Artezian). These publications have different annotated and non-annotated lists of the participants of the 1941–1945 war from the respective regions and villages. These lists have varying degrees of informational content, but the lists that have been methodically and conscientiously complied for a long time cover most of the persons they were looking for. Nevertheless, the task of complete memorialization of our fellow countrymen who participated in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945 remains unresolved to this day.
