Archaeology of Tuva in works by Aleksandr Danilovich Grach (Interview of December 20, 2019)
Interview with D. G. Savinov was organized by N. Yu. Smirnov. The form of a recorded verbal conversation with subsequent transcription and a more exact description of certain moments was proposed by D. G. Savinov as a most appropriate one, in his opinion, to the goals of presentation of A. D. Grach's personality as a prominent scholar, a senior colleague and a friend. The topics and subjects touched upon in the conversation of D. G. Savinov and N. Yu. Smirnov deal with different aspects of the personality of A. D. Grach and his maturing as a scholar and the most prominent researcher of Tuva antiquities in the 20th century who has laid down the foundations of the modern ‘picture of the world' for his followers - archaeologists of the Saint Petersburg scientific school studying now this amazing region.
