This rare natural phenomenon happened long ago, in 1962, in Tuva, on the banks of the mountain taiga river Elegest, about 10 -15 km from the Khovu-Aksy village. I have told my friends many times about the night rainbow, this gift of nature that I witnessed, but very often I was not believed. Now there is a lot of information about this phenomenon on the Internet, and nobody denies the possibility of a rainbow appearing at night, caused by moonlight during rain.
But regardless of the fact that there are many photographs by eyewitnesses, in almost 50 years after our rainbow I have not met anybody who has actually seen a night rainbow.

Usually people start thinking about arzhaans closer to July, around the time when they "ripen". But we have several reasons to talk about healing springs in December. First, our ancerstors would start preparations for a trip to an arzhaan six months ahead of time, to get ready, and think everything out in great detail. Second, the project "Nine Treasures of Tuva" is coming to a close, and we would very much like arzhaans to be among the treasures. And the main reason is that after a political period in her life, Kara-Kys Arakchaa, a scientist-chemist, an author of the popular brochure "Story of the Arzhaans of Tuva" and a delegate to the State Duma, returned to Tuva.
- Kara-Kys Dongakovna, we are glad that you returned to the republic , and happy that you returned to the arzhaans. Did you vote for the "Nine Treasures"?
- I voted, and I voted for all the arzhaans that were on the list.

In the year of the 65th Anniversary of the Victory, the Tuvan book publishing house published a series of documentary essays "Their Glory is Eternal", prepared by Valeriy Kara-ool. The book is dedicated to Tuvan volunteers - ordinary young people who, not under orders, but by the will of their own heart, leaving their wives, children, and mothers, voluntarily departed to the battles with German-fascist invaders.
