Anatoliy tells a story about the origin of the Baga Derbet and Iki Derbet clans. He also contends that Amursana (a Kalmyk nobility) gathered various Kalmyk groups and resettled them in the land of the Derbets which had good soil and rich vegetation. Anatoliy also recounts the names of several families of the Buzava clan. In the past, many Buzavas were livestock breeders.Sponsored by Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin
