The all-Russian census launched yesterday. To show support for the census,Vladimir Putin and his wife became examples of civil consciousness by patiently and scrupulously answering all of the questions asked of them by a young and obviously nervous census-taker. In Tuva the campaign will take far longer than a week. Due to the crime rate and peoples fear of letting unknown people into their homes, over twenty census stations have been set up in the Tuvan capital so the people can be recorded outside of their homes. The census in Tuva will finish on October 20th, and then when the winter road toward the Tozhda district is paved, will continue. After taking down the Tozhda reindeer it will come to an end.
