#Tuva, a relatively new colony within Muscovite empire, has a unique historical connection with #Mongolia. The Tuvans share similarities in language, religion, and traditions with their Mongolian counterparts

Historically, Tuva was not part of russia until the #Xinhai Revolution in China in 1912. Muscovite supported separatist and pro-independence movements among the Tuvans, leading to Tuva becoming a Muscovite protectorate known as Uryankhay Krai. In 1929, the Soviet Union orchestrated a coup due to Tuva strengthening ties with Mongolia. Subsequently, Tuva was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1944 without a referendum, with the approval of Tuva's Little Khural (parliament)

During the collapse of the USSR, a national movement called #HostugTuva, meaning "Free Tuva," emerged. Hostug Tuva advocated for Tuvan national rights, cultural preservation, and political representation. They also aimed to strengthen the Tuvan language and protect Tuvan cultural heritage. #Buddhism, which was repressed in the USSR, experienced significant development in the 1990s
