Next to the memorial in the park "Friendship" is an eternal flame.
Other monuments in the park "Friendship" in Elista, is a man who has made a significant contribution to the folk art of the Kalmyk people - Eelyan Ovla. Biography of the Kalmyk-djangarchy narrator is not known, but it is fully justified by his work: the words were written Eelyana Ovly main Kalmyk folklore - "Dzhangar", which became the foundation of the poem.

Djangarchy gentle hug dombra, which is in the form of a through aperture represents a single sound of strings and epic performance of "Djangar" is the soul of the Kalmyk people.

The memorial complex consists of several elements: the actual monument "Exodus and Return", standing on top of an artificially created mound, railcar and a plaque. The rise of the monument is performed along a spiral path that winds around clockwise mound, repeating the ritual bypass Buddhist temple khurul.
At the foot of the mound is a railway car, which transported the Kalmyks to Siberia. The car is on the track that lead to the mound. On the left side of the rails are 14 granite columns by the number of years (1943-1957 gg.), During which the Kalmyk people were in exile. At the end of the rail is a plaque with an excerpt from a poem by David Kugultinov with the words:
Golden rider monument, located in Elista, the work of sculptor Nicholas Rostov Mozhayeva was opened on May 1, 2007. Covered in gold leaf eight-meter monument is located on the 15-meter-high stele mounted on an artificial mound. The image of the "Golden Horseman" is taken from the Kalmyk folk epic "Dzhangar." The monument depicts a galloping horseman. In his right hand holding the banner of the rider, and the left - a Mongolian bow. On the left side of the rider flying hawk.
Saiga - one of the most remarkable steppe species, but the fate he got uneasy. The history of the saiga - like a seesaw. That he - the main object of hunting in the plains, it is on the verge of extinction, then again numerous herds.
Caygak - medium-sized antelope, high on, light and agile. No one will confuse the Saiga because large head with bulging humped muzzle, ending like a little proboscis. Males - small translucent light with dark tips of the horns, females are hornless. The largest adult animals do not exceed 60 kg, on average, males are about 45 kg, and females - 30-35.
But in order to understand what the saiga - should not talk about a specific animal, as herds. The fact that migration thousandths herds of saiga - an amazing natural phenomenon. In the autumn, with the onset of winter, and especially - with snowfall - saiga gradually moved from the steppes to the south - where there is no snow, or - at least - it is much less. In summer, when the south grass burn and dry reservoirs, antelopes move north. The migrating herds can gather thousands, tens of thousands of animals, moving a continuous stream. In the spring, the birth of young animals, saiga are usually concentrated in traditional areas and to approach gradually the groups. Sometimes, the weather conditions are unfavorable, and the animals are forced to migrate in the spring - and then adult animals here and there you can see the tiny calves (2, 5-4 kg), who at the age of 3-4 days, trying to keep up with the moms. If this is not necessary, then the calves after birth the first 3-4 days is carried out mainly harboring - mum grazing around and occasionally suited to feed. After 10 days saygachenok has almost always follows the female.
In the Kalmyk steppe tulips bloom in April. For residents of Kalmykia and the arrival of spring flowering tulips - are inseparable concepts.
Spring tulips covered steppe gradually. The first blooms dvuhtsvetkovy tulip (Tulipa biflora), followed by tulip blooms Bieberstein (Tulipa biebersteiniana) - popularly referred to as a bell because of the small yellow flowers.
Finally, Schrenk tulip blossoms (Tulipa schrenkii), known to all of its bright red color. But it is the most diverse color: pink, yellow, purple, dark cherry and lilac.
Profuse flowering occurs every two years and does not last long - only 8-10 days. It is noteworthy that even 30 years ago, wild tulips bloomed 20 days. This is a very undemanding plants that have adapted to alkaline soils of Kalmykia, well tolerate drought and winter drying soil.
On peals - a unique place where the Volga flows into the Caspian Sea, from mid-July to mid-August and the middle of the water expanses riotous color blooming lotus (lily amazingly gentle colors - pink, cream, white).
Lotus "flower of Buddha" is born in July, blooms only two or three days. Pluck it is impossible, and useless. Lotuses fade very quickly, plucked fresh bud zhuhnet before our eyes.
The first thing that strikes you when approaching a living carpet of bright lotus flowers - this amazing flavor of the lotus. Even if your sense of smell is not so perfect, they make delicious smell involuntarily plunge into the sweet slumber. Second - this is a huge amount of lotus flowers.
That's not a lot of what I wanted to tell. In this generation, and took his leave.
P.S. Now as time goes blooming tulips. And in Kalmykia conducted Tulip Festival.
