The Soviet Union and the Mongolian People's Republic were the only foreign governments to formally recognize the independence of the Tuvan state during its existence, in 1924 and 1926, respectively.[11][12] In October 1944, after a period of increased Soviet influence, the country was absorbed into the Russian SFSR at the request of the Tuvan parliament, ending 23 years of de jure independence.
