The article is devoted to an unsufficiently studied issue in Tuvan historiography related to the armed uprising in Tere-Hol in 1932: the internal political aspect and causes, the course of events, the social composition of participants, the cross-border nature and political lessons of the mutiny.

The author shows that Tere-Khol armed action was directed against the policies of the party and the government, in defense of religion, and has an anti-modernizing nature. The social composition of the participants indicates that they were not only former feudal lords and lamas, whose economic and political situation worsened as a result of “leftist politics”, but also arats, party and Komsomol workers, representatives of local authorities. Like the mutiny on Khemchik in 1930, the incident in Tere-Khol had a cross-border character, coincided in time with the Khubsugul uprising in Mongolia.

It had been the last manifestation of an open form of resistance and opposition to the policies of the party and government in the TPR after which there was no armed political protest in the TPR.
