History

This section needs additional citations for verification. (April 2022)

In 1873, at the confluence of Khondergey and Chadan Rivers, a Buddhist monastery called Aldee-Khuree was founded. This year is considered the founding year of Chadan.

In 1923, the village by the monastery was known as Artadyt. In January 1929, when the Plenum Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party adopted an anti-religious decree, the Aldee-Khuree monastery was closed and destroyed, and the village was renamed Chadan.

In May 1945, Chadan was granted town status and became the administrative center of Dzun-Khemchiksky District. Around this time, coal deposits were discovered nearby and with open-pit mining starting soon after.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Chadan serves as the administrative center of Dzun-Khemchiksky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with one rural locality (the arban of Kirsaray), incorporated within Dzun-Khemchiksky District as Chadan Town Under District Jurisdiction.[1] As a municipal division, Chadan Town Under District Jurisdiction is incorporated within Dzun-Khemchiksky Municipal District as Chadan Urban Settlement.[4]

Economy

There are bread-making and a butter-making plants in the town.^{[citation needed]} Coal is mined in the town's vicinity.^{[citation needed]}

Culture

In the Khemchic Valley, 7km outside town, stands a stubby mud wall decorated with a portrait of the Dalai Lama. That's all that remains of the original Ustuu-Khuree Buddhist temple which had been built in between 1905 and 1908 on the orders of Khaidyp, the local tribal ruler). Khaidyp's adopted son, Mongush Buyan-Badirgi later rose to become independent Tuva's founder and first prime minister.[10] Thus the monastery became a place of considerable influence in Tuvan culture: The first Tuvan coin was minted here and it was a monk from the temple (Mongush Lopsang-Chinmit) who formulated the Latin-based script for the Tuvan language that was used from 1930 to 1943. After the communist coup that ousted Buyan-Badirgi, the temple buildings were mostly destroyed (1937) and the monks exiled or executed.[11]

Since 1999, Chadan has been the site for the annual Ustuu-Khuree festival,[12] originally founded to fund the reconstruction of the Ustuu-Khuree Temple. In 2008 the institution was refounded - assisted by local-born Sergei Shoigu, then Russia's minister of Emergency Situations (and now Defence Minister).[13] The temple finally reopened in 2012 under the guidance of chief monk Jampel Lodoy who would later ascend to the position of Tuva's Kamby Lama, the republic's highest position in the Buddhist clergy.
