The village of Choloun-Hamur celebrated the anniversary

In the village of Choloun-Hamur Iki-Burul district, a big holiday took place: 65 years of the village and a career.

The history of the settlement began in 1958, when after the return of the Kalmyks from Siberian exile, a quarry for the extraction of a shell stone was opened here. The quarry gave work, built houses and held on his shoulders the whole life of the village. For 65 years, dozens of managers have been at the helm of the enterprise - from the first director Viktor Sivtsov to the current general director Vadim Bibeev.

Today, Cholun Hamur is a well-known place in the region for the extraction of shells. This stone built houses, schools, entire villages and not only in Kalmykia. For the republic, this is a strategic resource: not only wall stone is mined here, but also tairce, which is used for dumping roads.

Residents of the village were noted with letters of gratitude from the government of Kalmykia. On the same day, the Museum Room of Combat and Labor Glory, as well as the Park of Memory and Glory were solemnly opened here.
