Description
Summary:Introduction. The article provides statistical insights into a consolidated database compiled from the Alphabetical Book of Red Army Conscripts by Military Commissariat of Ulan-Kholsky District (Kalmyk ASSR). Goals. The article attempts a statistical analysis of the identified consolidated database for deeper understanding of the actual historical conditions and contexts. Materials and methods. The study focuses on materials of Soviet Kalmykia’s Military Commissariat to the former Ulan-Kholsky District available on the Pamyat Naroda (‘People’s Memory’) government information system. The work employs a wide range of general and special historical research methods, including the quantitative and statistical ones. Results. The local military commissariat’s book contains data on a total of 1,565 residents of Ulan-Kholsky and Lagansky districts. The conducted analysis has revealed quite a variety of repetitions, errors, and inaccuracies. Nevertheless, the compiled and corrected database covers a significant number of servicemen, and further processing of the latter secures extended studies into the participation of our fellow countrymen in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945.
