Tuvan department of the All-Russian Party "Yedinaya Rossia" ("United Russia") has discussed a prospect of the railway to Tuva. Majority of its members support this project, reported Albert Khomushku, press-secretary of the party. "Yedinaya Rossia" is considered a party of power, and it is not for nothing that this report has appeared on the official site of the Tuvan Government. Tuvan authorities are wholly pro this project lobbied by a financial group close to Sergei Pugachiov, a Russian oligarch and a senator representing Tuva in the higher chamber of the Russian Parliament.
