The ancient Greeks said about a person who was strong, quick and sharp in response, that he was a Tiger. And the tiger as such, as a predator, in general will surpass anyone in speed and dexterity, even His Majesty Lion.

A tiger has courage and fearlessness. If we want to underline someone's bravery, then we say that he is brave like a tiger. A jackal is a symbol of meanness; a tiger is a symbol of nobility. And it is no coincidence that all peoples and at all times call tigers the best fighters.
The tiger knows no obstacles when he goes after the goal. He can swim for ten kilometres. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov is the same! He sets goals and achieves them despite any obstacles. For a tiger, it is in his nature, for Ilyumzhinov it is in his character.
A tiger is the biggest cat in the world and Kirsan Ilyumzhinov is the most famous Kalmyk in the world.
Tigers are also known for their great mobility and going far beyond their permanent habitats. Once a tiger was found in Yakutia, where there they don’t exist. So is Kirsan Ilyumzhinov: he can visit more than 100 countries in a year.
Trust me, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, who was born on the year of the Tiger day, has a lot in common with a tiger.
Thus, we wish Kirsan Nikolayevich as the ruler of wildlife Tiger to be always strong and fast. And this is the only way, because there are simply no weak and slow tigers. Such is their fate.
