Abstract

Abstract ‘New Tuva’ is a Tuvan anti-war movement that was created in the spring, 2022, after the Russian government started the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The movement consists of a decentralised group of activists and volunteers of Tuvan origin with an anti-war position and shared aim to prevent support of the war against Ukraine from Tuva in all forms of its manifestation. Their main activities include providing assistance to military personnel and those who might be mobilised in refusing to participate in the war and public awareness-building regarding the real situation in Ukraine, Tuva and statistics over Tuvans killed in the war etc. This study focuses on the context of the Tuvan republic, the activities of ‘New Tuva’, its influence on the Tuvan society within the region and what main obstacles and difficulties the movement faces in its work.
