TUVA History

According to the records of the Chinese dynasty, Tuvas are located in the east of the Kyrgyz, in the south of the "Kiiçük Deniz" (probably Lake Baikal) and in the north of the Uighurs [1]. Today Tuvas live here and it is called Tannu-Tuva.

It was occupied by the Russians in 1914 and the People's Republic of Tannu Tuva was established again in 1921. As a result of the agreement between the Soviet Union and the Mongolian People's Republic in 1926, its independence was recognized and its name was transformed into the People's Republic of Tuva. The country was re-annexed to the Soviet Union on October 11, 1944. It has taken its place as an autonomous region at first, and as a mukhtar republic since 1965. He still takes part in the formation of Russia as a republic. (See. Republic of Tuva)

Chinese imperial history mentions Tuvas for the first time around 200 AD. The Tuvas, which came under the domination of the Gökturks in the 6th century, could not gain their independence except for short intervals throughout history. The Göktürks were followed by the Uyghurs, the Uyghurs by various Mongolian states and China. Tuvas, who retreated to the high plateaus to break the influence of foreign domination, developed a unique culture over time. Having a belief that is a mixture of ancient Turkish religion and Buddhism, Tuvas made a great contribution to the musical adventure of humanity in all that isolation.

At the end of the 19th century, when the Russian Empire extended into Asia, the country of Tuva was experiencing a relative peace and independence. China was weakened. The Russians persuaded the untouched Tuvas to establish a capital and in 1912 they sent military forces and settled in the region. However, the October revolution came to the rescue of the Tuvas, albeit for a short time. In 1920, the Red Army reached Tuva. In 1921, the Tannu Tuva People's Republic declared its independence and the name of the capital established by the Tsarism was changed to Kizil in Tuvan.

Later, Tuva became a satellite of the Soviet Union after a while. It was annexed on October 11, 1944. Tuvas are also known who were killed during this period as a result of the Russians' policies of establishing the communism system.

Republic of TUVA

Reindeer domestication was initiated by Turkish communities and was later abandoned. But it was adopted by the Samoyeds (Samodi-Peoples) before it was taken north. From the pictures of the ancient rock carvings in the Altay-Sayan region, the domestication of reindeer suggests that it goes back to at least the 1st century AD. Scientists (Laufer, Leimbach, Mänchen-Helfen) say Tuva-style deer-herding may be the oldest form of Eurasia.

It is an important country in terms of underground riches. There are many coal, iron, mercury, gold, asbestos, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, lead, hard coal and mineral salt in tuva. In 1970, the asbestos factory, the biggest industrial establishment of Tuvan, was opened around Akdovurak. The agriculture sector is predominant in Tuva's economy. Here, 115,000 tons of grain is obtained. 27,000 tons of potatoes are produced. Fattening is common in tuva. Livestock also takes an important place. 1.229.000 ovine animals and 201.000 cattle are grown in Tuva. Along with animals such as sheep, cows and pigs, horses, camels and reindeer are fed. The fact that the majority of the tuvan is forested is suitable for hunting wild fur animals. Raw material extraction activities have an important place in the industry. However, timber production, food production, some branches of light industry have developed. There are wood, leather and food industries in the capital city of Kızıl. There is a road of 433 km and the main roads are between Kızıl-Abakan, Teeli-Kızıl, Kızıl-Erzin. Despite the fertile land, agriculture is done very little. Wheat and barley are produced. The fact that the railroad is not passed through Tuva lands for political reasons causes difficulties in the transportation of the people of Tuva. Silk Road trains or in railway networking within the scope of the Turkish World Tuva-Altai-Kazakhstan-Azerbaijan-Turkey hopes the realization of a railway line has to be soon. Such a project will make the whole region economically attractive. The most striking handicrafts are the animal figurines made from stones such as soft marble.
