 On 11 February between 4 and 6 AM, Shagaa, the Lunar New Year, will come to Tuva. On the proposal of Buddhists of Tuva, the Supreme Khural of the republic unanimously declared this day to be a holiday.
A day off for welcoming the Buddhist new Year is stipulated in the Constitution of Tuva as a day off.
However, this is a floating date, and every year the Buddhist organization of Tuva has to go to the parliament for approval of the date as calculated.

 The entire planet Earth was following the time of epochs according to the Mayan calendar. Some quietly observed the events, others "prepared" for the expected cataclysms, yet others prepared for the rare date like for a holiday. But in the center of Moscow, in one cozy backyard…they lit a ritual shamanic bonfire.
Here, near Paveletskiy train station, is where the shamaness Vera Sazhina lives, who comes to Tuva for several warm months every year, to Shagonar, where the "headquarters" of her association is located.

 What is the secret hiding in the eyes of this rider, half-turned to face the visitors? The people of Novosibirsk visiting the opening of the Eighth International Siberian Festival of Snow Sculpture have quite a few questions. What is the animal at the bottom of this composition, why is the taiga woman sitting on a reindeer?
How does one explain to them, that Tuva has not only reindeer, but camels as well…

 Kreshchenie bathing in Kyzyl began on the night of 19 January on the river Yenisei in the area of Vavilin bay. As midnight approached, a whole chain of vehicles slowly moved towards the place. People drove up to the warming tents, where they took their clothes off and bravely ran to the baths, where they took a triple dip. A huge Orthodox cross made from ice stood in front. For safety reasons, the police, MChS and health workers were on duty, but nobody needed help.

 Its not surprising that a town located at the exact geographic center of Asia has special psychic energies. Kyzyl, the capital of the Tuva republic, is 3,700 kilometers to the east of Moscow. But as far as its style of business is concerned, it might as well be on another planet.
"If a person decides to move to Kyzyl to start a business," said Otkun Dostay, the head of the Tuvan branch of UNESCO, "he will gain mental and spiritual equilibrium. Finding himself in the middle of the taiga, a person becomes placated by the energy and the breath of nature. It is like recharging a battery."
