The article introduces a translation of a previously unknown manuscript in Old Mongolian titled “The resolution of the assembly of the seven khoshuuns of Tannu-Tuva”. Dated 1921, it was found a century later – in 2021 – among the little-studied materials at the National Archives of the Republic of Tuva.
The authors argue that this archival document is the draft version of the first Constitution of the Tuvan People’s Republic prepared by a group of Tuvan delegates of the All-Tuvan Constitutional Khural, led by Buyan Badyrgy.
The article provides a description of the document, the history of its discovery and its full text (in translation).
