Most of the tales published for the first time were recorded and translated into Russian by Ulumdzhi Dushan (1892â"1974), a significant folklorist and physician. He gathered these stories from his mother, who was a performer of fairy tales. The editor Andzhur Purbeev (1904-1938) was a Kalmyk party activist and Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Kalmyk ASSR at the time of book publication. He was later arrested and executed during the Great Purge, partly for his involvement in publishing the Kalmyk 'Jangar epic'. WorldCat locates seven copies - all in the USA.

Pyotr Petrovich Konchalovsky, 1876-1956, holds a significant place in the annals of Russian and Soviet art history due to his profound influence on the development of modernist painting in the early 2…0th century. As a prominent member of the Knave of Diamonds group, he played a pivotal role in shaping the avant-garde art scene of his time. Konchalovsky's oeuvre is characterized by a remarkable synthesis of traditional Russian artistic heritage with innovative modernist techniques, exemplifying his mastery of color, form, and composition. His artistic vision not only challenged conventional artistic norms but also reflected the tumultuous socio-political climate of his era. Through his bold experimentation and unwavering commitment to artistic integrity, Konchalovsky left an indelible mark on the trajectory of Russian art, earning him enduring recognition as one of the foremost figures of the Russian avant-garde movement.
