History
The establishment of the village of Zavetnoye is connected with the policy of the tsarist Russian government on the settlement of Kalmyk lands. The governmental instruction of 1846 envisaged the establishment of 28 mixed Kalmyk-Russian villages along roads passing through the Kalmyk Steppe. The first land management of Zavetnoye village was carried out in 1847.
All Russian villages were first settled mostly by peasants from Voronezh and Kharkov governorates, and the influx of settlers increased after the Peasant reform of 1861.
Until 1920, the village had been a part of Astrakhan Governorate. In 1920 its territory was included into Kalmyk Autonomous Oblast. In 1925 it was transferred to Salsky District of North Caucasus Krai.
