Hello,

Do you have any idea why there were several Latvian chiefs of Cheka-OGPU in Tatarstan? Not 1-2 but several?

And why famous - infamous Martin Latsis was in Kazan? of all places he had to work in Kazan.

Hello,

Let's say the Russian Federation broke apart.

Will independent Tatarstan wage wars with neighboring states?

With Mari El, Udmurtia, Chuvashia or even with Bashkortostan?

I'm asking because there were Yugoslav wars, Georgia-Abkhazia war, Uzbek-Tajik conflict... Poland waged wars with Lithuania and Ukraine almost as soon as those countries became independent.

So what do you think will happen?

Hello,

Tatars' Slavic neighbors showed willingness to kill Muslims.

Should independent Tatarstan acquire nuclear weapons?

Привет,

Эта "Русская Община" в Татарстане тоже есть?

Если да, то чем они занимаются в Татарстане?

The central image is the dragon-snake-chicken Zilant with the Idel-Ural tamga, Also on the sides are symbols of Islam and Christianity, the main religions of Tatarstan.

Hi everyone!

I was the artistic director (and a performing musician) for a special live show titled Umay's Children which was performed at the Northwest Folklife Festival (May 23, 2026) in Seattle, USA.

The performance is a musical and narrative journey tracing the heritage, songs, and dances across the Turkic world, including Sakha, Kazakh, Uyghur, Uzbek, Turkmen, Azerbaijani, Crimean Tatar, Karaim, Bashkir, Gagauz, and Turkish traditions. Every single artist on stage was a volunteer, and the performance was completely free and open to the public as part of our shared mission to keep these traditional sounds alive. We tried to represent as many cultures as possible, but due to artist availability, we couldn't include every region

Watch the concert video on YouTube: Umay's Children on YouTube

I’ve included both English and Turkish subtitles in the video, so feel free to turn CC on if you'd like to follow along with the narration (no subtitles for the lyrics though). but I did not add CC to the emcee's short introduction.

We put a lot of heart into celebrating our shared Turkic roots and diverse cultures through live music, traditional instruments, and dance. I wanted to share it with this community and hope you enjoy taking this journey with us.

Может ли такое обращение прозвучать или показаться человеку обидным? Вообще в нашей компании принято ко всем на ты, но я хотел обратиться так к малознакомому коллеге, который значительно старше меня (лет на 25-30, на вид) и тем самым выразить уважение. Но побоялся, что он подумает, что я таким образом состарил его или показушничаю

Hello,

Not sure if this is the best place to ask my question.

Will more Tatars speak their native language if Tatarstan will become independent?

Will more Tatars outside of Tatarstan speak their native language if Tatarstan will become independent?

Also, please consider that most Irish people don't speak Irish. Despite Ireland being independent.

Hello,

Do you know if Tatars were involved directly in Soviet space programs? *

Perhaps even in the first Sputnik flight?

Or maybe there was someone similar to Tsiolkovsky?

* My grandparents paid taxes that financed the space programs. So they also helped :-)

Hello,

I would like to read the book but I don't remember the name of its author.

I think the main character's name is Rinat. Probably the author's name is the same.

The novel is autobiographical.

Before they are sent to Afghanistan, the soldiers spend some time in one of the Baltic socialist republics. Maybe you read the book?

Hello,

Have you read this poem by Tukay? What is your opinion?

Is there a good translation into English?

What is the best translation into Russian?

Asking because I want to share with friends..

Hi everyone! Many of us fly with Turkish Airlines, but their screen menu and music selection still don't offer Tatar language or music from our region. I started a petition asking Turkish Airlines to add our language and music to their in-flight entertainment system. Please take 30 seconds to sign and share with other travelers: https://www.change.org/p/include-turkic-languages-in-turkish-airlines-in-flight-entertainment
