After a year, a marathon of an election in Ulug-Khem district has finally reached a close. On July 27 Victor Puruna, an ex-head of the Ulug-Khem district, was elected into the Chief Administrator position over runner-up Kaadyr-ool Koshkendei by thirty-nine votes. A year ago, Koshkendei won the election, but the results were challenged in court as Koshendei was shown to have included false information in his documents. He claimed to have a higher education, but actually has none. For a year the district has gone without a head. With the elections ending so dramatically, after election night on July 28, one of Koshendei's supporters was killed in the villiage of Aryskan-- he died of gunshot wounds.

Archaeologists of the Hermitage expedition from St. Petersburg are finishing their fourteenth field season on burial mounds near the Dogee-Baary mountains in the vicinity of Kyzyl. According to the head of the expedition, Sergei Havrin, some of the burial mounds can be completely liquidated-- many of them have been plowed up by local citizens who use them as garden areas. Excavations are conducted on two graves-- one from Scythian time (5-6000 BC), and the other is from Hun time (3-1600 AD). There is a scarcity of funeral stock in contrast to the notable burial sites in Arzhaan.
