History
On June 1, 1922, the Oirat Autonomous District was separated from a part of the Altai province with the center in the city of Ulal .
The Oirat peoples once represented a rather large unit, which included several tribes: Derbety, Olety , Torgout , Telengits and other small tribes.
Most of these peoples are residents of the border part of Mongolia , adjacent to the Oirat Autonomous Region, and only a small part lies within the Russian Altai , forming an autonomous unit.
The closest neighbors of the Altai are: Derbety, Olety, Uryankhai and Oyrats , the second is shared only by the state border. The life and customs of these people have not changed at all, although for centuries they have been in the citizenship of two neighboring states.
Despite the numerous obstacles that separated this people - the spiritual connection between them did not stop, that and the other part vigilantly followed one after the other, wanting to conclude which of them lives easier.
The policy of the former tsarist government in the area of the Russification of the natives of Altai was definitely not liked by the latter.
A national movement was born among the Altais, which has recently begun to take on massive forms.
The February Revolution, and then the October Revolution did not allow this movement to take the forms that could be expected. The Soviet government singled out the autonomous region of the Oirat peoples. This fact was undoubtedly the center of attention of the Oirat tribes of Mongolia. The nationalist circles of the latter will continue their aspirations to unite with the tribes living in Russia.
As you know, there is a government of “Tavda Tuva” (one of the Oirat tribes) in the Uryanhai region, which fully expresses these aspirations. But the Oirat tribes of Altai during the revolution, it became well known what these nationalist tendencies can lead to. On the experience of the Karakorums in the counter-revolutionary actions of the Kolchak region in the Altai, the Oyrati concluded that only by forming a single family of peoples of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, can one get rid of any exploitation and enslavement [1] .
By the resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of May 25, 1925, the Siberian Territory was formed. The composition of the region was included Oirat AO.
By a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of July 30, 1930, the Siberian Territory was divided into two regions - West Siberian and East Siberian . The structure of the West Siberian Territory was included Oirat AO.
On March 2, 1932, the Oirat Autonomous Area was renamed the Oirot Autonomous Area .
In 1937, Oyrotskaya AO was incorporated into the Altai Territory .
On January 7, 1948, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Oyrotskaya Autonomous District was renamed Gorno-Altai Autonomous Region .
