Bokto Ochirovich Ochirov (Kalmyk: Очра Бокто, Russian: Очиров Бокто Очирович, 1887 – January 16, 1938) was a Kalmyk and Soviet economic, state, and political figure.

Early life and studies

Bokto Ochirov was born in 1887 into a rich aristocratic family of Dzungar origin. He received his primary education in a rural school, where he studied for three years, before enrolling in a two-year Kalmyk school, which he successfully completed.

Political career

In 1918, Bokto Ochirov was appointed a member of the Dzungar Aimag Executive Committee.[1] In February 1921, he was pressured to join the Communist Party during the turbulent aftermath of the Russian Civil War and, in May of the same year, was appointed Chairman of the Ikitsokhur Ulus Executive Committee, a position he held until 1923.[1] From March 1923 to May 1924, he served as Deputy Chairman of the Kalmyk Regional Executive Committee.[1]

In June 1924, Bokto Ochirov headed the Agricultural Department of the Kalmyk Regional Executive Committee.[1] However, in June 1925, he resigned from this position, only to return on December 1, 1926. On January 13, 1928, he was appointed by the Bureau of the Kalmyk Regional Committee of the Communist Party as Commissioner of the Lower Volga Regional Office of the Sheep Breeding Society for the Kalmyk Region.[1]

In March 1929, he resumed his role as Deputy Chairman of the Kalmyk Regional Executive Committee.[1] Bokto Ochirov organized Horse Breeding Collective Farm №8[1]; today, this is the village of Ovata in the Tselinny District of the Republic of Kalmykia.

Additionally, Bokto Ochirov served as editor of the newspaper "Ulan Bagchud" for the Kalmyk Komsomol Regional Committee (VLKSM).[2] In January 1934, he was appointed Chairman of the Bureau of Light Cavalry Units under the Kalmyk Regional Committee of the VLKSM.[2] Until 1937, he also held the position of Director of the Lime and Brick Factories in the city of Elista.[1]

Arrest and execution

In 1937, Bokto Ochirov was arrested by the NKVD on fabricated charges of involvement in a counter-revolutionary Trotskyist-Zinovievist bourgeois-nationalist organization.[3] In January 1938, he was transported to Stalingrad, where on January 16, he was sentenced to the highest measure of punishment by an offsite session of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR. He was executed on the night of January 16, 1938.[4]

His son, Dolan, was also subjected to repressions.[5]
