Abstract
The article explores the question of ethnic identity, using the case of the 1990s Kalmyk association of artists “Dzhungaria” [also Jangaria or Zungharia]. It then analyzes the significance of folklore in Kalmyk artistic and cultural revival, with focus on the painter Garri Rokchinskii and his cycle based on the Jangar heroic epic. The authors conclude that recent Kalmyk art, reflecting historical memories of Mongol and Oirat ancestry, derives from and shapes ethnic self-awareness.
