Based on the study of published and archival materials from the State Archive of the Astrakhan Region, the State Archive of the Saratov Region, and the National Archive of the Republic of Kalmykia, the article examines the main features of the nature management system, the functioning and life of the Kalmyk nomadic society in new geographical conditions, and analyzes the processes of adaptation of nomads to the specific resources of an arid ecosystem. For the Kalmyks, who led a nomadic lifestyle in the past, nature was not only a habitat but also the basis of life. Moving in search of pastures for livestock, Kalmyk pastoralists learned to use natural resources rationally. The article shows how people tried to harness these resources through magical rites. The nomadic way of life, the economic structure, the natural landscape, and the life of the nomad cattle breeder-all predetermined the nature of magic as a whole. Special attention is paid to a system of prohibitions related to nature, land, and water. "Russia's Steppe Frontier" is an invaluable resource for understanding the Kalmyks' historical experience in the field of nature management.

Although closely linked with the other Central Asian nomadic peoples, the Kalmyks have historical and ethnocultural peculiarities which distinguish them from their eastern relatives. The Oirat ancestors of the Volga Kalmyks left Jungaria for the Caspian steppes in the early 17th century. Arriving in thei¡ new land, they changed their environment in all respects: climate, way of life, linguistic surroundings, and even religion. As is well known, ZayaPandita, the author of the Todo scnpt played a crucial role in the introduction of Buddhism among the Volga Kalmyks. Sub.sequently, Buddhist temples and monasteries used to be the most important centres of Kalmyk culture and education. In the 1930s, however, the temples were destroyed, and monks arrested or even killed. Many ancient manuscripts were burnt during that time. Therefore, only very small collections of Oirat sources are preserved today at learned institutions like the Kalmyk Institute of Humanities and Applied Sciences and the Kalmyk National Museum in Elista.
