After the 20th Congress of the CPSU, on November 24, 1956, the Central Committee of the CPSU adopted a resolution "On Restoring the National Autonomy of the Kalmyk, Karachay, Balkar, Chechen and Ingush Peoples", which lifted the indiscriminate accusation of betrayal from the Kalmyk people and the allowance of Kalmyks to return to their former place of residence.
