The history of Tatarstan (Republic of Tatarstan) is perhaps the best illustration of what is the spirit of Eurasia.
The first state is the Volga Bulgaria - formed at the end of the IX - early X century. Here it is necessary a small retreat from the history of Tatarstan itself: the context of this historical period is important. In 453, after the death of the leader of the Hunov Attila, his empire broke up. The ancient Bulgars, one of the Turkic tribes, fought in his army along with the Huns, formed in the 630s. State Great Bulgaria. By the middle of the VII century. It broke up. The most numerous part of the Bulgar went to the south, where it was assimilated with the South Slavic tribes and created the state of the Danube Bulgaria. In the middle of the IX century. Slavs in it took out more and more weight, part of the Bulgarians accepted Christianity. These are the ancestors of modern Bulgarians (in order to avoid confusion in the historiography of the Southern, asymalized with the Slavs, the Bulgarians are called Bulgarians, northern - Bulgarians). The other part of them, subdued by the Khazaras and named in the historical chronicles "Black Bulgars", is associated with modern balcishers and Karachay ("Chernolic"). The third group went to the Middle Volga region, where at the end of the VIII century. Together with other Turkic tribes, first also fell under the power of Khazar and was assimilated with them. And then moved further to the north, to the location of the merger - the Volga and River. Here they began to build the Volga Bulgaria with the capital, the city of Bulgar, went to a settling lifestyle and began to engage in agriculture and cattle breeding, smelting and metal processing, pottery production and jewelry, minted their own coins indicating the place of the chasing - "Bulgar Al-Jadid" , that is, a new Bulgar. Other cities arose, and among them bulk (beyria). Kazan at that time was the border fortress. The borders of the state in the north reached the interfold of Volga and Vyatka, and in the south - the River Samara. The population of Volzhskoy Bulgaria was a mixture of various Turkic, Finno-Ugric and Slavic tribes, with the dominance of the first. In 922, at the request of the ruler of the Volga Bulgaria, Almas Khan arrives the embassy from Baghdad and the state accepts Islam. External communications based on trade, Volzhskaya Bulgaria had with different states, were the most importantly connections with Rus.
In 1236, the Mongolian conquest of Eastern Europe begins. In 1238-1240s. Mongols conquer Russia. In 1243, at the site of the Volga Bulgaria, the Ulus Juchi Golden Horde is formed. In the XIV century, during the heyday of the Golden Horde, the ancient Bulgarian language, as well as the languages \u200b\u200bof other Turkic tribes, is absorbed by the languages \u200b\u200bof Kipchak and Chagatayev, while maintaining part of the vocabulary of Finno-Ugric languages \u200b\u200b(Holvnevsky, Mari, Mordovsky, Udmurt), as well as Arab, Persian and Russian languages. Ethnos, talking in this new language, from the end of the XIV century. In historical chronicles, it is called the Tatars. In the XV century The Golden Horde breaks into several states, one of them - the Kazan Khanate, which emerged in 1438 in 1487, as a result of the campaign of Russian troops on Kazan, his ruler Ali Khan was overthrown, and his brother, Mohammed Emin, became Vassal Prince Moscow Ivan III. In 1524, Safe Garya becomes Kazan Khanom, in which Kazan passes under the authority of the Turkish Sultan. In 1551, at the venue of Ivan IV of Grozny, the Sviyazisk fortress, and in 1552, Grozny, at the head of the army, will be built in 1552. Warriors conquered the city.
Starting with the conquest of Ivan the Terrible Kazan, the relationship between the Russian and Tatar peoples was generally calm, but not ordinary.
It is not known exactly who the author of the expression of the "Dream Russian - find Tatarina", most likely it is a somewhat paraphrased thesis from the composition A. De Kyustina "Russia 1839": "After all, they were a little more than a hundred years ago, they were real Tatars." In these words, which became the saying, no, in essence, nothing that infringes the national dignity of Russians or Tatars. After all, it means not genetics, but the interpenetration of cultures. Many Russian aristocrats were by the origin of the Tatars, and others by the Germans, and most of them were people of honor and debt, that's what is essential, and not the origin. L.N. Gumilev attributed the Tatar to the "Core East". Modern historians deny the concept of Soviet historiography " tatar-Mongol yoke" The progressive role of the Golden Horde in strengthening Russian state Proved, in Russian lives great amount Türkisoms, as well as russes and those who came through the Russian language borrowing from other languages \u200b\u200bin Tatar. We are indisputable and the fact that Peter I Russia had little in common with Western Europe. Just like Tatarstan was not liked and does not like Mongolia, much more in common with the states of Central Asia. But even more - with historical Russia. Discussions on the theme of the national Tatar identity and mentality sometimes reach a large heat, halftone will mark, but also Russia, and Tatarstan, it is thought, it is necessary to go through this stage of understanding their own, no matter how much a common past, in the Soviet period I have been interpreted very one-sided.

As part of Russia, the former Kazan Khanation began to be called first by the Kazan kingdom, then the Kazan province, which was governed by the governor appointed directly by the emperor of Russia. After the February Revolution of 1917, the project of the National State of Tatars and Bashkir The state of Idel-Ural arose, but his real incarnation was only the Zabouchard Republic in the Tatar part of Kazan, which existed from March 1 to March 28, 1918. In parallel, the project of the Tatar-Bashkir Republic was created in Moscow, The remaining only on paper. On May 27, 1920, the decree was signed on the formation of the Tatar ASSR as part of the RSFSR - so first enters the official turnover of the word "Tatar" ("Tatarstan") in relation to this land. On August 30, 1990, the Supreme Council of the TASSR adopted a declaration on the state sovereignty of Tatars, converting it to the Tatar Soviet Socialist Republic - the Republic of Tatarstan, "and after the collapse of the USSR, from February 7, 1992, this name is reduced to the" Republic of Tatarstan ". March 31, 1992 Tatarstan refuses to sign a federal contract. On November 30, 1992, a new Constitution of the Republic of Tatarstan was adopted, announcing him by a sovereign state. In December 1993, when the All-Russian referendum was held on the new Constitution of Russia, Tatarstan's authorities declared a boycott. However, some of the residents of the Multinational Republic, despite this, took part in the voting. Most of them (74.84%) spoke for the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Since 2000, in accordance with the changes submitted to the Constitution of the Republic, Tatarstan became an "equal subject of the Russian Federation, determining Tatarstan as a subject of the Russian Federation."
Today Tatarstan is one of the most successful in economicly economical Regions of Russia, ranks 6th in terms of VRP. The foreign trade turnover of the republic for 2010 amounted to $ 16.9 billion (125.3% by 2009). The network of technology parks is actively developing. In 2005, the 1000th anniversary of Kazan was widely noted. To this date they were preparing very seriously, and the capital of the republic was noticeably transformed into best side. In 2013, the XXVII World Summer Universiade will be held in Kazan.

But the city reached a real heyday during the Golden Horde. And, especially after the separation of the land of the Middle Volga region into a separate Khanate, whose capital was Kazan. This state was called - Kazan Khanate. But even after joining these territories to the Russian kingdom, the city did not lose its importance, remaining one of the largest centers of Russia.
