Geography

Vostochnoye is located 16 km northwest of Ikryanoye (the district's administrative centre) by road. Dzhamba is the nearest rural locality.

History

Vostochnoye was founded by Kalmyk settlers in the 1930s. Its original name was Kisin-Sharburbä. After all ethnic Kalmyks were forcibly resettled to Siberia in 1943 by Joseph Stalin, it got its current name derived from the Russian word for "Eastern".

In 2021, the local Kalmyk community composed of those who managed to return from the Siberian exile finished the construction of a Buddhist temple (khurul).
