Abstract
Mergen says that although shamanism ceased to exist in Kalmykia, some elements of paganism, including rituals of appeasing the spiritual masters of land, are preserved in Kalmyk culture in the form of rituals. The Kalmyks implemented the anti-shaman laws of 1640 more stringently than other Mongolian groups, which resulted in the eradication of this belief.
