Velimir Khlebnikov is a poet, novelist, founder of Russian futurism and a major figure of Russian avant—gardism. According to Roman Yakobson, he was the greatest world poet of the 20th century.
The birthplace of the greatest poet of the Silver Age is the Kalmyk village of Malye Derbety. It was there (October 26, Old style) that Viktor Khlebnikov (the real name of the writer) was born on November 9, 1885, and became the third child of Vladimir and Ekaterina Khlebnikov.
Vladimir Khlebnikov's father belonged to an ancient merchant family, was an ornithologist and forester, and founded the Astrakhan Nature Reserve, the first in the Soviet Union. Thanks to him, Victor fell in love with nature and became interested in natural sciences.

13:00 The stop of the Green Container is a place of power.
According to legend, far to the north there is a pure land inhabited by the gods, the land of Shambhala, invisible to the human eye.
Once upon a time, the goddesses — Green Tara and White Tara — were on their way from Shambhala to the land of Zu (Tibet) When they saw a beautiful place in the middle of the steppes in the Dalai Lama's palace, they went down to the green land. Thunder rang out, a rainbow flashed, and the goddesses descended to earth on silver thrones. Where they set foot on the ground, a spring of the purest water gushed, trees and flowers grew.
People, having seen this miracle, called the gelyun, who conducted the "ova takhln" (rite of consecration of the mound). An ova (stone structure) was built at the resting place of the goddesses in honor of this event.
Since then, this area has been called Ovata, which means: "... the place where there is Ova." To this day, as legend has it, the footprint of one of the goddesses has been preserved there: a deep sinkhole in the ground that is beyond the control of time. On October 22, 2000, a Stupa of Enlightenment was built at this place with public donations.
Visit the Stupa of Enlightenment.
Then we walk with the guests in the direction of the footprint of the Green Container. Everyone should see this failure for themselves.
If you are lucky and you were able to see the foot, then you have received the blessing of the Green Container.
