This is an overview of a roundtable which was held on November 7, 2017, at the Alan Maadyr National Museum of the Republic of Tuva, to mark the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917. The event was organized by the Tuvan Institute for the Humanities and Applied Social and Economic Studies. Among the roundtable’s participants were scholars, Communist Party veterans, members of the Verkhovny Khural (Tuva’s parliament), and students of Tuvan State University and of Kyzyl’s secondary schools.
This overview covers the main points of the scholarly papers devoted to various aspects of Tuva’s Soviet-time experience – its politics, culture, education, etc. ‘Veterans of labor’, eyewitnesses of this period, put the significance of the Revolution and subsequent transformations in the context of their own lives. They believe that their parents and themselves would never have achieved any success and would never have been able to do as much as they did, without the establishment of the Soviet power in the region.
The roundtable participants, representing the scholarly and political consensus in the region, agreed that the Great October Revolution of 1917 in Russia had a most direct and positive impact on the development of Tuva, tying the small republic and the great Northern power ever closer to each other.
