In Russia yesterday, for the first time, Culture Worker Day was observed. President Vladimir Putin signed a edict aboutthis August 28, 2007. In Tuva, today in the House of Folk Art were honored culture workers. Vice-Premier Anatolii Damba-Huurak congratulated workers of this sphere on their professional holiday. In the evening, a salutary telegram was read from the federal minister Alexander Sokolov to the people prominent in cultural matters of Tuva.
The republican government asks the municipalities to prevent the cornering. President of Tuva Sholban-Kara-ool in his speech at the extended meeting of the public and representatives of the republican authorities said that the news on the federal government's decision to build the railway branch inspired some unscrupulous speculators to buy the land under the future railway in order to make a profit later by racketing the state, which is to be nipped in the bud. Construction of the Kuragino-Kyzyl railway is to give an impetus to the extraction and processing of mineral resources.
The release of the historical film “ By the order of Chingis Khan”, based on the novel by Yakut writer Nikolai Luginov, is scheduled for September 2008, immediately after the 2008 Olympics in Peking. Other possible dates were considered; April or even February of 2008. But in the opinion of the producer of the film, Vladimir Ivanov, which he expressed in the newspaper “Yakutia”, the Olympics in China should “spark up” international interest in Asia.
Tuva voted for a new president on Sunday in an election likely to hand victory to President Vladimir Putin's chosen successor but criticised by the opposition for a lack of real competition. Turnout at presidential polls hit 59% as of 2 p.m. Tuvan time, and exceeded 70% by the end of the vote. Only 9 out of 182 election polls protocols have been processed by the time and they show most voters want to reward Putin for eight years of rapid growth and rising wages by backing Medvedev.
