A unique ancient Uigur fortress (dates back to 8 century A.C.) on an ireland in the middle of Tere-Khol (there is another Tere-Khol lake in the southern part of Tuva bordering Mongolia) lake is going to be restored. The idea of restoration came up to federal minister Sergei Shoigu, Tuvan, who in his school years used to pass his summer vacations in archaelogical expeditions guided by scientists from Saint-Petersbourg, among them the famous Alexandr Grach, Alexei Vinogradov, and Sergei Astakhov. Shoigu has discussed his plans with orientalists Dmitri Vasiliev and Sevian Vainshtein.
