Situation in Russia

Location in Tuva

Tschaa-Chol ( Russian Чаа-Холь , Tuvinian Чаа-Хөл ) is a village (selo) in the Republic of Tuva in Russia with 3250 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The place is about 150 km as the crow flies west of the republic capital Kyzyl in the western part of the Tuvinian Basin . It is located just under 3 km from the right bank of the Tschaa-Chol river or directly on its small right tributary Bai-Bulun, about 7 km above (southwest) from its confluence with the Sajano-Shuschensk reservoir of the Yenisei .

Tschaa-Chol is the administrative center of the Koschuun ( Rajons ) Tschaa-Cholski as well as the seat and only locality of the rural community (selskoje posselenije) Tschaa-Cholski sumon .

history

The village was founded in 1887 about 10 km to the northeast, closer to the course of the Yenisei and initially had the Russified name Dschakul, after the river (Tuvinian for "New Lake"). Until the founding of Belozarsk, today's Kyzyl, in 1914, it was the most important trading center in the region. In 1941 Tschaa-Chol became the administrative seat of the Koschuun named after him and remained so even after Tuwas annexed to the Soviet Union from 1944 to 1961, when it was dissolved and attached to Ulug-Chemski koschuun , which was next to the east and was based in Shagonar , then about 30 km to the east .

When the Sajano-Schuschensk reservoir was filled at the end of the 1970s, the old village - like the Shagonar Rajon center - was flooded and rebuilt at its current location. First, the new place was called Nowy Tschaa-Chol, Tuvan Tschaa Tschaa-Choel ( Чаа Чаа-Хөл , Russian nowy and Tuvan tschaa "new" for). In 1992 the Rajon was restored and Tschaa-Chol again under the original name as the administrative seat.
