On 4 December, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov met with the former head of the ONF executive committee Alexander Gorodovikov. As you know, A. Gorodovikov is the grandson of the legendary leader of the Kalmyk ASSR Basan Gorodovikov.
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov is always interested in news from his native republic; therefore, both compatriots discussed the life of Kalmykia. Alexander Gorodovikov told him how people live today.
There was time for memories. Kirsan Nikolaevich recalled how, while still a student at MGIMO, he met with Basan Badminovich Gorodovikov.
For 18 years, Basan Gorodovikov led Kalmykia, which under his leadership achieved significant success in post-war reconstruction.
