Dear colleagues! We endorse you to participate in the special issue of "The New Research of Tuva” magazine #3 of 2017 (to be released in September 2017). The issue will be devoted to "The mentality of the Tuvans in comparative aspect”. Publishing editor of the release is Ch. K. Lamazhaa, Doctor of Philosophy (Moscow University for the Humanities). Mentality of the Tuvans is an important object of scientific research, rendered by scholars in different countries in various aspects including spiritual culture, worldviews, ethnic identities, peoples’ philosophies, national characters, etc. These references are of importance also in general understanding of the Tuvan culture, of social and ethnocultural processes in Tuva including their effect in social and economic reforms and general sociocultural development. Considering the relationship of the Tuvans with neighboring peoples of Central Asia it is important to enrich the scientific knowledge in parallel and comparative studies. Supporting the new approaches in exploring the new horizons of scientific studies is of prime importance.Journal Editor
