Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the influence of traditional civilizational features on the formation of institutions of public power in the Kalmyk society in the 19th – early 20th centuries. During this period, after the liquidation of the Kalmyk Khanate, the search for the most optimal model for managing Kalmyk society began, and Russian institutions of power began to penetrate more and more into Kalmykia. The purpose of the article is to study the institutions of public authority in the Kalmyk society on the basis of a civilizational and cultural approach. The main sources for us were the normative legal acts of the Russian Empire, dedicated to the management of the Kalmyks. As a result, we found that the influence of traditional principles on the institutions of public power in the Kalmyk society was strong during the existence of the Kalmyk Khanate. In the first half of the XIX century. the Russian government adopted the main regulations that fixed the system of governance of the Kalmyks. However, at the same time, some national institutions of power were preserved.
