On May 24, 2006, the deputies of the Legislative Chamber of the Republic of Tyva adopted an Appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin in connection with the growing number of crimes committed on the basis of national hatred.

"The deputies of the Legislative Chamber condemn the increasing cases of crimes committed on the basis of ethnic hostility. With our Appeal, we express the opinion of the inhabitants of the republic. In the current situation, our children are deprived of the opportunity to study in prestigious educational institutions outside the republic because of fear of being subjected to violence, bullying or being brutally murdered " , - noted in the Appeal.
