In mid 1921, local revolutionaries, supported by the Red Army of the RSFSR, decided to declare the national sovereignty of Tuva. In June 1921, a meeting was held in the center of the western kozhuns of Chadane with representatives of two Hemchik kozhuns, Daa and Beise, where the majority of the Tuvan people lived. The resolution adopted by the meeting read: "We, the representatives of the two Hemchik kozhuns, find that the only, the most faithful and best way of the further life of our people will be precisely the way of achieving full independence of our country. We transfer the decision of the question of the independence of Uryanghai in the final form to the future general Uryanghai congress, where we will insist on our present decision. We ask the representative of Soviet Russia to support us at this congress in our desire for self-determination. "
August 13-16, 1921 in the city of Sug-Bazhi took place Vetuvinskiy constituent hural (congress), in which representatives of all the Tuva's kovuns were about 300 people (more than 200 of them were arats); It was also attended by representatives of Soviet Russia and representatives of the Far Eastern Secretariat of the Comintern in Mongolia. On the first day, Khural adopted a resolution on the establishment of an independent Tuvinian state Tannu-Tuva. The resolution stated: "The People's Republic of Tanu-Tuva is a free state, free from all in its internal affairs, in international relations. The Republic of Tanu-Tuva operates under the auspices of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic."
August 14, 1921 the independence of the Republic of Tanu-Tuva was proclaimed, authorities were created, the first Constitution was adopted out of 22 articles. The new Constitution of the People's Republic of China, in particular, established freedom of religion. The capital of the republic was the city of Hem-Beldyr. By 1923, Soviet troops were withdrawn from Tuva. Later, agreements were concluded with the USSR in 1924 and the Mongolian People's Republic of 1926, recognizing the independence of Tuva.

The first head of the Tuvan state was Noyon Khemchik Daf-Kozhun (district) Buyan-Badyrgy.

In 1929 the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party and the first chairman of the government of Tuva Buyan-Badyrgy was arrested, and in 1932 he was executed. Together with him were executed, Secretary of the Central Committee of the People's Democratic Republic of Iran Irgit Shagdyrzhap, former Prime Minister Kuular Donduk.
In 1930, five graduates of the Communist University of the Workers of the East, who arrested Kuular, were appointed extraordinary commissioners of Tuva. Loyal to Stalin, they cleansed the ruling party of the Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party from almost one-third of its members, as well as the collectivization of the country's agriculture, which was almost exclusively nomadic. The new government proclaimed support for Stalin's policy, and also decided on the need to eliminate Buddhism and shamanism in Tuva. Success in the latter is illustrated by the following data: if in 1929 there were 25 Buddhist monasteries in Tuva, about 4,000 lamas and shamans, in 1931 there was only one monastery, 15 lamas and 725 shamans left in the republic. Eliminate the nomadic way of life of the Tuvinians was much more difficult. The census of the population in 1931 showed that 82.2% of Tuva's population were nomads.
Salchak Toka, one of the five extraordinary commissioners, in 1932 was elected General Secretary of the Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party. His reign of Tuva ceased only with his death in 1973.
In 1937-38, political repressions related to the Great Terror in the USSR took place in Tuva.
In 1944, the Tuvan People's Republic became part of the Soviet Union.
