First time, the Kalmyk ASSR was formed when Kalmyk Autonomous Oblast was raised in status on October 22, 1935. The ASSR existed until 1943 when it was abolished.
Second time, the Kalmyk ASSR was formed when newly formed Kalmyk Autonomous Oblast (re-established in January 1957) was raised in status in 1958. The ASSR existed until March 31, 1992, when it was raised in status to a republic within the Russian Federation.
