| Summary: | This analytical review focuses on the work of Tuvinian researchers on the causes
and consequences of political purges in Tuva during the existence of the Republic
as a formally sovereign state. The authors of the book consistently reconstruct the
main cycle of socio-political events in the region, figuring out how the experience
and practices of revolutionary Russia passed on to Tuvinian soil. The ways and
peculiarities of promotion of new leading cadres in the Republic and development
of inter-clan struggle for power, formation of unusual party-state system, which
allowed its leaders to widely use punitive measures against their opponents are
considered. The reviewed work vividly presents historical portraits of major leaders
of Tuva, demonstrates methods and ways of their promotion to political avantgarde, as well as the tragic end of careers of many of them. The published book is evaluated as a major contribution to the historiography of
Tuva, thanks to new facts and interpretations of socio-political events in Central
Asia in the first half of the 20th century. |
