Kyzyl

Capital of the Republic of Tuva of southern Siberia, Russian Federation; population (1994) 90,000. Kyzyl lies at the point where the Bolshoy (Large) Yenisey and Maly (Small) Yenisey rivers join to form the Yenisey River proper, 175 km/109 mi north of the border with Kazakhstan. It has tanning, brickmaking, and timber industries, and was founded in 1914.

A 19th-century monument in Kyzyl marks the geographical centre of Asia (which actually lies hundreds of kilometres distant by most calculations).
