WWII still going on?
« on: June 23, 2005, 01:14:05 PM »
In 1941 People's Republic of Tuva (Tannu-Tuva Ulus) declared war on Germany. In May, 1943 first volunteers from that Siberian country appeared in the Soviet-German front. One of them, Homushku Churguy-o'ol, a tank driver, became a Hero of a Soviet Union.

In 1944 Tuva was allowed to join Soviet Union.

It still didn't sign a peace treaty or even a cease-fire agreement with Germany. According to Tuvan Constitution - the republic had the right to declare wars and sign peace treaties by it's government decision, even after it became a part of the USSR as an autonomous republic inside Russian Federation. So - officially WWII isn't over yet.

Indeed, only a cease-fire signed.

USSR signed a peace treaty with GDR only in December 1955.

Republic of Tuva


"llowing the Russian Revolution of 1917, Communist troops took Tuva in January of 1920, renaming the capital Belotsark as Kyzyl (meaning "Red"). On August 14, 1921 the Bolsheviks (supported by Russia) established a Tuvinian People's Republic, popularly called Tannu-Tuva"

Tuva is an interesting place.  Ever hear of Tuvan throat singing?  It's an interesing form of vibrating the vocal cords to get 2 or even 3 different octaves and pitches at the same time while singing.  

Look up Bela Fleck and the Flecktones song A moment So Close.  Tuvan throat singing at the beginning.

How funny!
There were some of those Tuvan throat-singers around in Iceland the other day. Heard it on the radio while driving my tractor. I laughed so hard, I almost fell from the cockpit.
