The aim of the work is to analyze the historical events that led to the formation of statehood among the Kalmyks. For that, the history of the formation of statehood among the Kalmyks in the Volga region in the XVIIth and early XVIIIth centuries is examined. Many historian researchers have addressed this topic, but nevertheless, many issues of the history of Kalmyk statehood remain controversial. Since the topic of the formation of the Kalmyk statehood has its own understatements and hitherto unexplored areas, the need for its full disclosure is still relevant. In the process of research, different scientific methods were used: The method of diachronic analysis, the method of historical periodization, mental modeling, and also the retrospective method. The policy of the Kalmyk Taishi with the Russian state was a means of achieving stability within the Kalmyk society, an accelerator of the formation of Kalmyk statehood in the Volga region. The research concludes that among the many reasons for the migration of Kalmyks to the Volga region, one can single out the main one: the fact that the Kalmyks felt the need for territorial space to create their sovereign state.
