 Hamburg Museum of Ethnography is one of the best known in the world and the largest in Germany. Its director, professor Doctor Wulf Koepke conducted research among native tribes in North America, and he also studied the traditions of Mordva (Erzya, Moksha). He is well acquainted with myths and rituals of Tuvan shamans.
Remember that 13 years ago, a delegation from Tuva which included shamans, led by Professor Mongush Kenin-Lopsan went to Hamburg and even conducted a purification ritual of Koepke's home and his collection, and also treated patients.

 While in Europe there is a fulminant scandal with horsemeat, which was discovered in many popular meat products, Russian livestock breeders are concerned with a more serious problem. Here everybody is more and more willing to eat horsemeat. The question is: how to supply the population with quality domestic product.
The interesting part is that in Europe they are not upset about the fact that they were fed horsemeat, but that there was no warning on the package. Altogether there is nothing harmful in good horsemeat, as "Argumenty Nedeli" wrote. For example, it has more protein than beef, the proportion is 20-25%.

On the pages of "The New York Times", the group has been described as a "musical wonder", and the "San Francisco Chronicle" called the group "magic of vocals", as the press-service of the ministry of culture of Khakassia noted.
Every note of this music is unique, with subtly perceptible flavor of ancient times, majesty of the mountains and serenity of the steppes.

 A storm that attacked Siberian regions did not spare Tuva. The powerful squall winds together with strong snowfall swept through roads of local significance in the western districts of the republic. Dozens of herding stations were cut off from central locations of farming enterprises. Because of the situation, at the meeting of KChS on 8 May, the decision was made on orders of the head of the republic, Sholban Kara-ool, to organize work groups to go to the affected districts to help herders. Today the leadership of the ministry of agriculture and food supply of the republic reported to Premier Sholban Kara-ool about the situation in the districts where the conditions are the worst.

 Alexander Inyutkin is an individual entrepreneur, head of farming-herding operation - he lives in Pii-Khem district in village Chkalovka, named in honor of once well-known test pilot Valeriy Chkalov.
The snow of this winter, 2012-2013 is deep, and to drive on a rural road that leads to the tiny settlement with a huge name was far from easy. The road is not used very frequently: only very few people remain, in the words of the vice-chairman of the Pii-Khem district agricultural administration, Alexander Mongush, there is no more than fifteen families.
