Khostug Tyva (Tuvan: Хостуг Тыва, romanized: Xostug Tıva, lit.'free Tuva') was a political party in Tuva which existed from 1989 until the late 1990s. Originally established as the People's Front of Tuva (Russian: Народный фронт Тувы, romanized: Narodnyy front Tuvy), Khostug Tyva led the anti-Russian riots that resulted in the flight of most of the republic's ethnic Russian population, as well as later efforts to achieve independence from Russia.
