<h1 class = "question-name" > if the Turks do not return to the east, under the rule of Tsarist Russia, they will continue to be cannon fodder for Tsarist foreign wars, will continue to weaken, and will always be oppressed and guarded against until they are finally assimilated. </h1>
In fact, some Turks did not receive news of their return to the east, were persecuted, and were in a difficult situation. Let's elaborate:
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, a branch of the Mongols, the Turks migrated to the Volga River Valley, the Volga steppe soil is fertile and watery, far from war, the Turks lived a happy and peaceful life for more than a hundred years.
In the eighteenth century, the Russian Empire became strong, and they controlled and enslaved the Turks, made them pay heavy taxes and servitude, assimilated them with Russian culture and religion, and drew Mongol warriors to serve as cannon fodder, to serve as mercenaries to expand their territories and invade other countries.
In 1768 alone, for example, the Russian government recruited the tribes eight times.
The entire Turkic community was no more than 200,000 or 300,000 people, and tens of thousands of Turks died on the Front Line of the Black Sea at war with the Turks. It can be said that every household was killed in battle, and became cannon fodder for Tsarist Russia to launch a war of aggression.
Endless conscription, conscription and taxation made it impossible for the Turks to survive.
Tsarist Russia also forcibly replaced the traditional religious beliefs of the Turks with orthodox Christianity, which also made the Turks intolerable.
On January 5, 1771, the young chief Wolbasi was determined to get rid of the oppression of Tsarist Russia and led the people of Ergut to revolt against Russia and return to the motherland.
He led 240,000 tribesmen all the way through the encirclement and blockade of the Tsarist Army, all the way to the east. Empress Catherine II of Russia sent tens of thousands of troops to destroy the Turks.

After seven months of long-distance travel, the Turks lost 170,000 people and finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
The Qianlong Emperor welcomed them back, and in September 1771, Wobaxi met with the Qianlong Emperor at the Mulan Yard and paid tribute to Qianlong with various tributes such as the "Seven Treasure Sword" and the "Silver Sheath Knife", expressing the sincerity of the Turks to return to the Qing Dynasty.
The Qianlong Emperor named Wobasi the "Driktu Khan" and gave them great help and preferential treatment to live in their ancestral homeland.

When the Turks returned to the east, because the Volga River had not been frozen, it was impossible to inform the West Bank Verats of their return to the motherland in time, and the Veyrats had to stay in Russia.
The Weyrats were also preparing to return to the east, and Catherine II hastened to order the abolition of the Turk Khanate, the establishment of the Kalmyk Administration, and the dispatch of a large number of Russian police officers to maintain law and order. In the Kalmyks, where the Russian police are stationed, arresting and arresting at will, the herders feel that the former homeland is now a big prison, and it is painful.
After the October Socialist Revolution, the Kalmyks joined the Red Army, formed cavalry regiments, fought bloody battles for Soviet power, and participated in the famous Defense of Tsaritsyn.
In 1920, Kalmykia established an autonomous oblast, and in 1935, it became an autonomous republic.
During World War II, Kalmykia joined the army with 20,000 young adults and bravely attacked, dealing a heavy blow to the German army, with more than 10,000 people sacrificing heroically and nearly 10,000 captured.
In December 1943, after the victory at the Battle of the Dnieper, the Soviet government discovered that the three main leaders of Kalmykia had surrendered to Germany during the Nazi Occupation and organized a puppet government. As a result, all the Kalmyks were labelled as collaborators, the Kalmyk Republic was abolished, and all the men, women and children of the whole nation were relocated to Central Asia, Siberia and other places.
It was not until May 1958 that the injustice was redressed, the reputation of the Kalmyks was restored, most returned to their places of origin on both sides of the Volga, and the Republic of Kalmyk was re-established.
