About Elista

Elista is the capital city of the Republic of Kalmykia, Russia. Some western voyagers began to visit Elista from the mid-1990s, and more after it gotten exposure as the host city of the 1998 Chess Olympiad. The city is protected and has little movement. On the edges of Elista, there are tremendous fields. Elista is the capital of the republic. Within the structure of authoritative divisions, it is, as one with four rustic regions, joined as the City of Elista—a regulatory unit with the status equivalent to that of the districts. As a civil division, the City of Elista is consolidated as Elista Urban Okrug.
The town focus has various redesigned open parks concentrated on the principle square, flaunting statues to both Lenin and the Buddha. Toward the east of the town lies the Olympic town of the 1998 XXXIII Chess Olympiad, referred to locally as "City-Chess". The site has an open swimming pool and a superb gallery of Kalmyk Buddhist craftsmanship, and is additionally inconsistently utilized as a gathering focus. Amid his visit in 1998, the 14th Dalai Lama picked an area west of the town focus to assemble another Buddhist sanctuary for city occupants. It was opened in December 2005.
