As reported by "Caucasian Knot", since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, authorities and security forces have recognized at least 257 fighters from Kalmykia as killed.
Dolgan Lidzeev was born on June 19, 2006, in Elista. He graduated from school No. 5. In October 2024, he decided to sign a contract to participate in the special military operation. Private Lidzeev served as a radio operator, reported the state news agency "Kalmykia".
On February 15, 2025, he was killed in the area of the village of Kamenskoye in the Vasilyevsky district of the Zaporizhzhia region. He was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage.
Thus, at least 258 combatants from Kalmykia have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and the Southern Federal District who have been killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and security agencies, according to the report from "Caucasian Knot" "SVO Statistics: Losses in Southern Russia are Increasing".
It was previously reported that in the military operation Danzan Nostaev from Elista was killed.
State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deny Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "No official honors were given to his family. The military enlistment office said that there was supposedly no insurance from 'Sogaz'. Supposedly, they were not insured... No one else responded, including the military prosecutor's office," a relative of one of them said.
