This article explores interethnic relations in the south Siberian autonomous republic of Tuva in the light of the sovereignty quests of post-Soviet union and autonomous republics. The thematic focus lies on the conflict between economic dependence on Russia and cultural and political self-determination based on a non-Russian, or anti-Russian, identity. Due to the lack of current research on this region, part one provides basic data and a historical overview of Russian-Tuvinian relations, that is colonization, sovietization and ethnic tensions in the post-Soviet period. The current dynamic of ethnic relations is then analysed in terms of a number of categories: Russian media provocation, local government policy, Mongolian and Buddhist revivalism, alcoholism and youth criminality, economic factors, and the nationalist movement. Although the primary intent is a descriptive, yet systematic, appraisal of the ethnic relations in a little-known region, the article also draws attention to particular indigenous social factors that have polarized the dominant ethnic groups. Finally, it is argued that, given Tuva's budgetary dependence on Russia and the destabilizing influence of ethnic tension on investor confidence, full sovereignty is neither an economically nor a politically prudent objective in the short term
