5 years ago Leonid Potapov, 95, famous researcher of the Siberian folks,  passed away in a small village within the Leningrad region. It went unnoticed by public at large as since perestroika Potapov, Lenin and Stalin State Prizes winner, had been considered a scientist of old party school. 2005 is also the year of Potapov's 100th anniverasary which was celebrated neither in Altai, where he was born, nor in Tuva where he has been researching for 11 years. Taken away all that party 'element' from his scientific works his contribution to the ethnographic study of the Siberian folks is really huge.

It all started in a small room behind the teacher's toilet, deep in Siberia, at a  school in Tuva, the smallest and most remote republic in the Russian federation. Not this jam, you understand, but the musical journey of Albert Kuvezin, leader of the group Yat-Kha."Our teacher said, 'If you want to clean the room, you can use it.' We were so happy! We had some old equipment and we started copying Russian underground bands. All our friends loved it. There was no other possibility to listen to such music for us then.

The American musician Paul Pena, who has died aged 55, became an unlikely icon when the award-winning documentary Genghis Blues, charting his quest to sing in the Central Asian republic of Tuva, was hailed as a popular success. Though he sold very few albums, Pena was admired internationally for his courage and dignity in the face of terrible reverses. He lost his sight by the age of 20, and his last years were dogged by debilitating illness, which meant that he was rarely able to make music, a hard blow for a gentle man who enjoyed communicating with his new-found fans.
