After the departure of the most part of the Kalmyk people to the territory of Qing China, the status of its statehood was undergoing great changes. The system of the governance of Kalmyk people was clearly worked out and put into operation during the reforms of the governors of the Russian Empire, Catherine II, Paul I and Alexander I. The administrative guardianship was established over the Kalmyk people with a number of legislative acts for long time, till 1917.
