Situation in Russia

Location in Tuva

Sug-Aksy ( Russian and Tuvinian Суг-Аксы́ ) is a village (selo) in the Republic of Tuva in Russia with 3184 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The place is about 220 km as the crow flies west of the republic capital Kyzyl in the west of the Tuvinian Basin . It is located between the left bank of the Yenisei tributary Chemtschik and the right bank of its tributary Ak-Sug , which flows there with several arms in parallel and flows about 10 km northeast.

Sug-Aksy is the administrative center of the Koschuun ( Rajons ) Sut-Cholski and the seat and only locality of the rural community (selskoje posselenije) Sug-Aksynski sumon .

history

The year the village was founded is not known; its name stands in Tuvan for "Sug estuary", whereby the river name itself, Ak Sug, means "white" or "light water". In 1941 it became the administrative seat of a newly formed Koschuun of the then Tuvinian People's Republic , named after the mountain lake Sut-Chol (Tuvinian Сүт Хөл , Süt Chöl for "milk lake") located 15 km to the northwest . After the annexation of the republic to the Soviet Union in 1944, the Koschuun remained in existence until 1961, when it was dissolved and its territory was attached to the neighboring Barun-Chemtschikski rajon , based in the small town of Chadan just 25 km to the south-east . The name of the village had already been adapted to that of Koschuun in the 1940s; it was now called Sut-Chol. In 1983 the Koschuun was spun off again, and in 1991 the village got its original name again.
