The versatile and creative Munzuk was an actor, director, singer, collector of musical folklore, composer, and teacher. Originally a musician in the military, Munzuk served as the commander of Tyva’s Artillery Regiment orchestra. He founded the Tuvan musical-drama theatre in the 1930s and played a huge number of roles of the most varied characters.[1]
He was awarded the titles of People's Artist of the RSFSR and of the Tuvan ASSR, and was also awarded the State Prize of the Republic of Tuva.
In 2004, the government of Tuva funded a prize for Best Actor named after Munzuk, awarded annually at a national competition; the same year, the Dersu Uzala Foundation was inaugurated, also named in Munzuk’s memory and intended to support Tuvinian artists.[1]
