THE TERE-KHOLSKY MUTINY IN TUVA (1932)

Natsak Organa Dorzhuevna

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.

Chadamba Larisa Dadar-oolovna, Kuular Ayana Ivanovna

The article is devoted to the preliminary results of the archaeological expedition to the Chedi-Khol district. The expedition of the Tuvan Institute of Humanitarian and Applied Socio-Economic Research under the Government of the Republic of Tuva investigated the burial mounds of Chaa-Sug-1 and Ak-Tal-3.

Kuular Ayana Ivanovna

The article deals with the stone statues on the river Bayankolchik (now Ulug-Khemsky district, near the village Aryg-Bazhy). The monument is an image of two people standing in front of each other, and four animals next to them. The sculptural group was not included in the range of ancient Turkic and Uighur statues known in Tuva. The sculptures are mentioned in many scientific works of researchers starting from the 18th century. Currently, there are no statues at their original location. Only one lion image of the sculptural group has saved, which is exhibited now in Aldan-Maadyr National Museum of the Republic of Tuva.

INDIAN STORIES IN THE EPIC AND FABULOUS MYTHOLOGICAL TRADITION OF THE TUVINIANS

Samdan Zoya Bairovna

The article examines the forms of borrowings and the peculiarities of the existence of book monuments of the East in the epic and fairy-tale-mythological tradition of the Tuvinians. In Tuva, the original versions of the "Gesariad", "The Tale of Khan-Harangue", "Jangar" and the versions of tales and fairy tales "Panchatantra", "Bigarmizhid Khan", "Arj-Borj Khan", "The Magical Dead", translated mainly from Tibetan, Sanskrit languages, existed orally". The author draws attention to the plots from the famous cycle of Indian stories "Birbaliana", which found echoes in Tuva in the form of intricate extensive fairy–tale plots - "The Wise Girl", "The Khan who was overcome by the truth", etc. The author also emphasizes the great role of storytellers and lamas who knew old Mongolian and Tibetan, thanks to whom the borrowed plots of book monuments of the East spread orally in Tuva. The article substantiates the idea of the existence of borrowed plots in Tuva, which indicate the involvement of the ancestors of Tuvans in the formation of common centers of writing and epic poetry - to the Sayano-Altai and Central Asian zonal epic community. These borrowed plots confirm the opinion about the living process of interaction and mutual enrichment of the cultures of the peoples of Central Asia, including Tuvinians.

TRADITIONAL MUSICAL CULTURE OF TUVA IN THE CONTEXT OF CULTURAL PARADIGMS OF MODERNITY

Suzukey Valentina Yurevna

The paper considers the role of the basic parameters of Tuvan musical culture, which, despite social and political transformations, retain a kind of configurational stability, which in itself is new and relevant. The relevance of the topic is also determined by the existing conceptual discrepancies (inconsistencies) between musical practice and its scientific development. The reasons for these discrepancies stemmed from the cultural policy of the Soviet state, which sought to unify culture throughout the territory of the superpower solely on the basis of the European model for the development of musical creativity. The need for scientific understanding of the axiological aspect of traditional culture in the context of a period of value crises, breaking the existing system and searching for new cultural foundations and orientations also determines the relevance of the topic. 

As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the definition of a tradition as “unprofessional” does not mean the absolute absence of its own concept of the formation and development of music. This knowledge was handed down orally from generation to generation for centuries. The oral tradition has its own professional mechanisms for the transfer of knowledge, and the task of knowing specific unwritten patterns is a problem exclusively of science, and not of the tradition itself.

EXPERIENCE OF TREND EXTRAPOLATION IN FORECASTING MORTALITY AMONG THE POPULATION OF TUVA FROM THE EXTERNAL CAUSES

Dongak Ilyana Ivanovna, Arakchaa Kara-Kys Dongakovna

The purpose of the work is to analyze a number of indicators of mortality from external causes, the choice of methods for predicting mortality rates. One of the most commonly used methods of analyzing and predicting population mortality rates is the method of extrapolation: the polynomial trend and the “moving average line” trend. The authors have shown that the “moving average line” method of trend extrapolation gives the smallest error in forecasting mortality.
