President Putin and Prince Albert Visit Tuva

In August of 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prince Albert of Monaco visited Tuva.  Among other activities, they fished along the Yenesei River, visited remote Lake Tere-Khol, and took in a concert.

Here we reproduce some of the images found on websites reporting on the visit.  Attribution for the photos is hard to come by: they are all available at the office of the President of Russia, but they are also provided by various news outlets and by AP.  Attribution is provided where we could find it.
