Dear friends! We are happy to inform you that the first issue of The New Research of Tuva 2013 is now ready. Traditionally, our first series are dedicated to the beginning of a new season. The issue contains 20 articles that may be of interest for specialists and general readers. Orientalists and Tuvinologists may find newsworthy the articles of our colleagues from Kalmykiya and Bashkortorstan. There are some post-expeditionary notes of the summer season in the issue. Seven new people have joined the group of our authors represented by scientists, pedagogues, students, and even a scholar. The traveling notes written by a famous Tuvan singer Sofia Kara-ool-Dulush about the tour of the Government Orchestra of the Republic of Tuva to Asian regions need to be highlighted as well. The diary notes have been already published in the Internet, but we have the edited, easier-to-read, version. All the articles are soon to be exported to the Russian Science Citation Index database. Dear colleagues,  we are looking forward to seeing your new works!
