Tatars

Tatars are an ethnic group primarily found in Russia, particularly in the republic of Tatarstan, as well as in neighboring countries. They are descendants of Turkic peoples with a rich history dating back centuries, influenced by Islamic culture and Central Asian roots. Historically, Tatars played significant roles in trade, politics, and culture within the Eurasian region. Today, they maintain their language, Tatar, and cultural traditions while being integrated into modern Russian society. They celebrate their unique identity through music, cuisine, and festivals, contributing to the diverse cultural landscape of the region.
