The Tuvan People's Republic (or People's Republic of Tannu Tuva; Tuvan: Tьвa Arat Respuвlik, Тыва Арат Республик, Tyva Arat Respublik, [təˈvɑ ɑˈrɑt risˈpublik]; 1921–44) was a partially recognized independent state in the territory of the former Tuvan protectorate of Imperial Russia also known as Uryankhaisky Krai (Russian: Урянхайский край).
Although formally a sovereign, independent nation from 1921 to 1944, it was considered a satellite state of the Soviet Union.
Nowadays, the territory corresponding to that of Tannu Tuva is the non-sovereign Tuva Republic within (and a part of) the Russian Federation.
The Soviet Union and the Mongolian People's Republic were the only countries to recognize its independence.
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, communist troops took Tuva in January 1920. The chaos accompanying this era allowed the Tuvans to again proclaim their independence. On 14 August 1921, the Bolsheviks (supported by Russia) established a Tuvan People's Republic, called Tannu Tuva until 1926. Tannu refers to the Tannu-ola Mountains while Tuva is derived from the Tuvan ethnicity. The capital Khem-Beldir was eventually renamed Kyzyl ('red' in Tuvan; in Tuvan and Russian: Кызыл; in 1922-26 named "Красный", Krasnyy, 'red' in Russian). A treaty between the Soviet Union and the Mongolian People's Republic in 1926 affirmed the country’s independence. No other countries formally recognized it, although it appeared on maps and globes produced in the United States.
The Tyva Republic (Russian: Респу́блика Тыва́, tr. Respublika Tyva; IPA: [rʲɪˈspublʲɪkə tɨˈva]; Tuvan: Тыва Республика, Tyva Respublika, [təˈvɑ risˈpublikɑ]), Tyva or Tuva (Tuvan: Тыва, Russian: Тува́), is a federal subject of Russia (a republic, also defined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation as a state ). It lies in the geographical center of Asia, in southern Siberia. The republic borders the Altai Republic, the Republic of Khakassia, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Irkutsk Oblast, and the Republic of Buryatia in Russia and Mongolia to the south. Its capital is the city of Kyzyl. Population: 307,930 (2010 Census).
From 1921 until 1944, Tuva constituted a sovereign, independent nation, under the name of Tannu Tuva, officially, the Tuvan People's Republic, or the People's Republic of Tannu Tuva. The independence of Tannu Tuva, however, was recognized only by its neighbours: the Soviet Union and Mongolia.
Forests, mountains, and steppe make up a large part of the geography of Tuva.
A majority of the people are Tyvans, but Russian is also spoken extensively. Tuva is governed by the Great Khural, which elects a chairman for a four-year term. The current chairman is Sholban Kara-ool.

Things move so fast and I can't stop them
Things move so fast and I can't stop them from moving
There's building swaying in the wind
Would you believe, it was just from passing them by
Things are moving so fast
So I keep on moving, and moving on
You know I keep on moving, and moving on, to keep up
Keep on moving on
You know I keep on moving, and moving on, to keep on
Keep on moving on
[V2]
I'm so lost inside my head
There's so many thoughts to contemplate
so many ways to move
And I don't know what to do with myself sometimes
So, I start reading the lines on my hands
And then I remember that fate is just a bullshit excuse for failure
Keep thinking you've got time
But there's not enough of it to spend to those you owe
And when they call collect
You still won't get the world to slow down
Things are moving so fast
So fast
So I keep on moving, and moving on
You know I keep on moving, and moving on, to keep up
Keep on moving on
You know I keep on moving, and moving on, to keep on
Keep on moving on
Keep treading; keep Moving on
Because time will fight against you
Because time will fight hard against you; work against you
