Kalev Kepelkeker was a Russian yurt maker and tour guide. He was born in the Kepelkeker Farms in Russia after World War One, sister of Rada K. Romanov and son of Menas Chagatai Kepelkeker. By the time he was an adult, he no longer wanted to live his current life and travelled to Mongolia. There he worked as a manufacturer of yurts until 1963. The warlike conditions in Vietnam were very intriguing, so he moved there. He knew he had some form of interesting ability, though he could not describe it in any way other than "a strange, temporal kind of libido." He used this ability of his to quickly learn the Vietnamese landscape and became a guide for extreme tourists. While doing this, he moved in with the indigenous culture and married French-Vietnamese Luisa Nguyen. Kalev lived the rest of his life with her and their several children along the Vietnamese-Cambodian border, embracing Khmer and Hmong culture.

His children are:

  • Temujin Kepelkeker
  • Nguyet Gebelgegeu
  • Genghis Gebelgegeu
  • Linh Gebelgegeu
  • Ngoc Gebelgegeu
  • Dung Gebelgegeu
