There is such a country, which is located in Eastern Europe, in the western part of the lowlands along the Caspian Sea coast, bordering the Caspian Sea to the east, the Republic of Dagestan to the south, volgograd Oblast to the north, and not far to the west to reach the Black Sea, leading to the hinterland of Europa. It is also a place of ethnic diversity and culture in Eastern Europe, and generally speaking, no matter how different its ethnic groups are, most of them are white European peoples in the traditional sense, speaking European dialect and celebrating European festivals. However, there is a yellow-race country here, they speak Mongolian, dance Theode, practice Buddhist temples, worship the Immortal Heavens, and their ancestors are inextricably linked to the Jade Continent. 300 years ago, in order to get rid of the siege and blockade of Tsarist Russia, they did not go far, went through countless hardships, made great national sacrifices, and finally under the leadership of the leader WoBaxi, they returned to the motherland in victory, and were warmly welcomed by the Qianlong Emperor and achieved the feat of returning to the east. This country is the Republic of Kalmykia in Russia.

Indissoluble relationship: Kalmykia in Europe originated in China
When it comes to Kalmykia, https://v.douyin.com/FBK1672/ many people can be said to be unheard of, even friends who travel to Europe a lot, or students who are interested in historical geography, may be very little known. After all, they rarely show their faces on the world stage today, let alone be known to us thousands of miles away. But it is such a country that has formed an indissoluble relationship with the mainland more than a thousand years ago. All this must start from the Tang Dynasty.
As early as the Tang Dynasty, the mainland's historical records appeared on the records of the Western Mongols, to the Yuan Dynasty, they were called West Mongolia, the history called Hui Yi La ti", "Wai La", Mongolian is the meaning of the people in the forest, speaking of this, many friends may soon be able to think of the Ming Dynasty's Wala, yes, they are once a headache for the Ming Dynasty, to the Qing Dynasty called "Erut", "Verat", foreign language books are also called "Kalmyk", which is the origin of today's Kalmyk people.

That is to say, Kalmyk's ancestors were nomadic peoples who originated in northern China, and in the long history of more than a thousand years, there have been sometimes subordination and sometimes confrontations, but no matter how they evolve, their descendants have always maintained a connection with the central government of the mainland.
West-East hesitation: from the lower Volga River to the east to the homeland of Ili
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the development of ethnic groups and changes in the environment, the Turks began to look for a new living environment, they left their homeland, crossed the Kazakh steppe, crossed the Ural River, and came to the lower Volga River, which had not yet been occupied by Tsarist Russia at that time.
However, with the entry of Tsarist forces, the original peaceful life of the Turks was violated by Tsarist Russia, who first conquered this area, and then implemented a high-handed policy here, unscrupulously exploiting the Turks, and the Tsarist government imposed a hostage system on the Turks, with the purpose of controlling the Turks, obeying the command of the Tsar, and involving them in the war of the Tsarist government, which made them even more miserable and oppressed. So, under the leadership of the leader Wolbasi, they began to plan to return to China and return to that familiar and distant homeland.
The Treacherous road back to the east by the Turks
On January 4, 1771, Wolbassi summoned a general mobilization of all the warriors, and he told his people that if they did not resist, they would eventually become slaves of Tsarist Russia, and it would be even more miserable. The tribesmen were persuaded and began to officially begin to move east.
In this operation, Wolbasi told the clan to keep it to the outside world in absolute secrecy and in accordance with the secret deployment and plan. The eastward migration procession was divided into two groups, the left bank and the right bank, but due to the leak of information, the team on the right bank had to move in advance, and the tribesmen who remained on the left bank were ultimately unable to embark on the road back to the east because the river had not yet frozen.
Hearing that the Turks were about to move east to get rid of Tsarist rule, catherine II, the then Empress of Tsarist Russia, immediately sent a large number of Cossack cavalry to pursue the Turks to the east. At the same time, the Turks on the left bank who had not yet returned to the east were closely monitored, so that they could no longer be like the right bankers, which made the Russian government feel humiliated.

The Turks soon crossed the steppes between the Volga and Ural rivers. However, one detachment of deviation was still caught up by the Cossack army, and after a battle, nine thousand of them fell under the guns of the Tsarist government. When Wolbasi and his people heard this news, they were so saddened that they finally annihilated almost all of the Cossack army in the Ochen Gorge, avenging the sacrifice of nine thousand compatriots and dealing a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Tsarist government.
After this counterattack, all the Turks strengthened their determination to return to the east, they crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, crossed many obstacles, and finally reached the homeland of Ili, and at this time, the team was only half the size of the departure, and this time the return to the east, the sacrifice was huge. When the Qianlong Emperor heard this news, he was greatly touched, and immediately sent troops and officials to settle and accept them, and warmly received Wobaxi, welcoming them back to the motherland to live and work in peace and contentment.
The Turks on the left bank, who could not return, had no choice but to remain in Russia, and thus had the only yellow republic in Europe today, the Kalmyk Republic.

With the development of China's economy and the increasing influence of the world, Kalmyk's economic and trade exchanges with us have become more and more frequent. The Number of Chinese tourists who come to Kalmyk is also gradually increasing, and the Chinese who come here look at the familiar faces and buildings as if they are in Mongolia, we often call them Kalmyk Mongols, full of curiosity and feelings. I wish the people of Kalmykia a better life.
