Chuvash National Congress, Public organization in Cheboksary, Russia
The Chuvash National Congress is an interregional public organization uniting Chuvash national-cultural autonomies, associations and individuals in Russia and abroad. Its executive committee has rented premises since April 2001 in a building at 10 Kompozitorov Vorobyovykh Street in Cheboksary, where the Revolutionary Committee of the Chuvash Autonomous Oblast worked from 1920.
The institution was founded in 1992 following a resolution from the Supreme Soviet of the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Its creation came during a period when the Chuvash region sought to strengthen its distinct cultural identity.
The Congress's anthem is the Chuvash folk song "Alran kaimi aki-sukhi…", and its newspaper is "Chăvash tĕnchi" (Chuvash World), published jointly with the Khуpar publishing house. Since 2009 Cheboksary has hosted Akatui, the main Chuvash holiday, and in 2007 the city held the first "Chuvash Clothes" festival. The Congress also organizes the "Chuvash Beauty" contest, first held in 2006.
The organisation rents premises at 10 Kompozitorov Vorobyovykh Street in Cheboksary, in the building that housed the Revkom of the Chuvash Autonomous Oblast from 1920; its executive committee moved there in April 2001. The address is the reference point for anyone seeking the Congress, which has no public reading room.
The Congress's printed organ is the newspaper Chuvash World (Чӑваш тӗнчи), issued jointly with the Khуpar publishing house and appearing irregularly. Its anthem is the folk song Aka-sukha yurri, opening with the line Alran kaimi aki-sukhi.
