This observance marks the adoption of the Steppe Code, the fundamental law of the Republic of Kalmykia. Adopted on April 5, 1994, the document became a milestone in the region's modern history and established the foundations of its governmental structure.
How it is celebrated: programmes include ceremonial gatherings, themed exhibitions and educational meetings. Libraries and schools explore regional history, the purpose of a fundamental law and the meaning of citizens' rights and responsibilities.
Steppe Code is the document's actual name, rather than a poetic nickname. The wording connects a modern constitutional text with Kalmykia's historical memory and steppe heritage.
