On August 10 through August 12 we will present our Republic as the keeper and bearer of the most
precious monuments of the Huns culture at the international festival ''Kurultai-2012'‘ in
Hungary.
The Republic of Buryatia is the only region in the Russian Federation where the archaeological
monuments of the Asian Huns can be found in such abundance (over 100 monuments) and variety
(ancient settlements, colonies, burial gounds).

73. After the rally it is planned to show a presentation to the locals and the guests of the capital
within the framework of the Ancient City Day celebration. We are promoting the idea of
stating a more ''ancient'' date for the foundation of Ulan-Ude and preserving the historical
heritage of the Huns.

who enjoy participating in the life of society.
