Tooruktug Dolgay Tangdym | |
Tooruktug Dolgay Tangdym (Template:Lang-tyv)[a] is an old Tuvan folk song that became the national anthem of the Tuvan Autonomous Republic and later official regional anthem of the Republic of Tuva, Russia.[1] On 11 August 2011, it was replaced by a new anthem titled Men – Tyva Men.
The song expresses the Tuvan belief that a person who takes care of his environment, his livestock, and the plentiful taiga will want for nothing. It refers to Tangdy, or the Tannu-Ola mountains, a mountain range in southern Tuva that is revered by the Tuvan people. The name of the mountain range is incorporated into "Tannu-Tuva," the popular name for the Tuvan People's Republic.[2]
