G.V. Novozhilov, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, General Designer spoke about P.V. Dementiev:“I must say that a person of Dementyev's scale can be likened to a diamond with hundreds of sparkling facets, and no one can see them all at once. He allowed each of those with whom the minister spoke, to see only what he wanted to show. He knew how to be both tough, and kind, and uncompromising, and all-understanding, he knew how to flatter when necessary, to cut when necessary, he could bring a person closer, and he could clearly indicate the distance - he was many-sided and this, according to those who worked next to the minister was interesting and dear”

2 The 5th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration on State Sovereignty of Tatarstan is a significant date not only for the inhabitants of the republic, but also for the Tatars of the whole world, many of whom consider it their historical homeland.

On the eve of the date "BUSINESS Online", after interviewing experts, I collected and arranged in alphabetical order a list of living statesmen, scientists, businessmen, athletes and cultural figures, who together represent the "Tatar factor" in Russia.

POLITICS AND PUBLIC OFFICERS

Rustam Minnikhanov




Mintimer Shaimiev

It probably does not make sense to explain the presence in the list of such figures as the acting president of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and the first president of the Republic of Tatarstan, state adviser of the Republic of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev. Their activities are in full view, and the newspaper "BUSINESS Online" constantly writes about them. We only note that our experts proposed to include in the Top 50, for example, the permanent chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan Farid Mukhametshin, but we decided to limit ourselves to two presidents - the first and the current one, who also represent their team.

Ravil Gainutdin can be called the most influential representative of the Islamic clergy in Russia

Let's start with such a bright figure as Sheikh Ravil Gainutdin, permanent chairman of the Presidium of the Spiritual Board of Muslims of the European part of Russia, chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia. A native of the village of Shali, Pestrechinsky district, can be called the most influential representative of the Islamic clergy in Russia, to whose voice, one way or another, the federal government listens. For example, thanks in large part to Gainutdin in Moscow on September 23, before the Eid al-Adha holiday, it is planned to open, finally (it took a very long time to build!), the Cathedral Mosque, the largest in terms of capacity in Europe.

This is all the more important because the current mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, unlike the previous one, Yuri Luzhkov, does not seem to be very willing to make contact with the leader of Russia's Muslims. By the way, as they say, at the time of Luzhkov's powerful support, Sheikh Gainutdin looked at Tatarstan somewhat condescendingly. But now - on whom else can he rely? - relations with our republic have become much warmer.

Elvira Nabiullina has an even attitude towards Tatarstan, although it should be noted that it was under her that the National Bank of the Republic of Tatarstan was reassigned to the head office in Nizhny Novgorod

The chairman of the Central Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, naturally got into our rating. Today, it and the Central Bank are, frankly, in the focus of attention Russian society. The wife of HSE Rector Yaroslav Kuzminov, who made a career in German Gref's team, was born in Ufa, which is why she is sometimes erroneously ranked as a Bashkir nation. Nabiullina has an even attitude towards Tatarstan, although it should be noted that it was under her that the National Bank of the Republic of Tatarstan was reassigned to the central office in Nizhny Novgorod. But here, as they say, only business, nothing personal.

Makhmut Gareev is a legendary man who, one might say, has become one of the living symbols of Victory for all of Russia and even the world

Rightfully included in the list is Makhmut Gareev, president of the Academy of Military Sciences, retired army general, well-known Russian military figure, professor, doctor of military sciences and doctor of historical sciences. It is no coincidence that this year at the Victory Parade in Moscow, the 91-year-old veteran was next to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Today he is a legendary man who, one might say, has become one of the living symbols of the Victory for all of Russia and even the world. Before Victory Day, Gareev gave an exclusive interview to BUSINESS Online, frankly talking about his view of the Great Patriotic War, revealing the spiritual meaning of the losses, suffering and heroism of our people, assessing the current situation in the world.

Farit Gazizullin in 1996 was taken to Moscow from the super-significant post of head of the State Committee for State Property Management and Industry of Tatarstan

Farit Gazizullin, now a member of the Board of Directors of OAO Gazprom, and previously the Minister of Property Relations, who has been permanent for many years, has reached high federal posts. Russian Federation. A native of Zelenodolsk in 1996, from the super-significant post of head of the State Committee for State Property Management and Industry of Tatarstan, he was taken to Moscow, where in December 1997 he became the Minister of State Property of Russia. Here he successfully worked with several premieres unimaginably long term- until 2004. With Tatarstan, Gazizullin always kept a good relationship, although in his departure for Moscow they once saw the hand of the Kazan Kremlin, allegedly eliminating a competitor in this way.

Muscovites ambiguously perceive the work of Marat Khusnullin in the capital of Russia.

Another representative of the "Tatar landing" in the Mother See is Marat Khusnullin, the current deputy mayor of Moscow for urban planning policy and construction. Khusnullin himself talks about how he works in Moscow in his interviews, obviously proud of the fact, for example, that he managed to stop the negative trend in the transport situation ... However, Muscovites ambiguously perceive the work of a prominent Tatar builder in the Russian capital. And in the winter of this year, they even held a rally for his resignation, indignant that under him they demolished the ancient mosque and the Privalov complex of houses, where Sergey Yesenin read poetry for the first time ... One way or another, Khusnullin does not lose ties with his homeland, he participates in the life of the Tatars of Moscow and invariably visits capital Sabantuy.

An active fighter for the interests of his nation, Razil Valeev is also known for speaking in principle in the State Council almost exclusively in the Tatar language.

A well-known deputy of the Tatarstan parliament naturally got into our Top 50, and already a record, sixth in a row, term in a row, the permanent chairman of the Committee of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan on Education, Culture, Science and national issues, an active fighter for the interests of his nation, writer, poet Razil Valeev. The parliamentarian is also known for speaking fundamentally in the State Council almost exclusively in the Tatar language. In addition to deputy work on a permanent basis, Razil Ismagilovich also holds public positions. He is a member of the Bureau of the Executive Committee of the World Congress of Tatars, President of the Tatar "PEN Center" of the international writing organization "PEN Club", Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Library of the Republic of Tatarstan (he was its director in 1986 - 2000), Member of the Board of the Union of Writers of Tatarstan, Chairman of the Board of the Fund "Җyen" - a public association for the preservation and development of the Tatar language and culture.

Indus Tagirov in the early 90s was one of the organizers and the first chairman of the executive committee of the WCT - the World Congress of Tatars

Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan Indus Tagirov, perhaps, is better known as a scientist, a Tatar historian. But he is also a prominent public figure, in the early 90s he was one of the organizers and the first chairman of the executive committee of the WCT - the World Congress of Tatars. Hindu Rizakovich graduated from Kazan University, was the dean of its historical faculty, headed the department. Tagirov's main scientific works are devoted to the history of revolutionary and national movements in Russia and to national-state building in Tatarstan.

One of the most famous politicians Tatarstan - Vice-President of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, Director of the Institute of History. Marjani of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, ex-adviser to the first president of the Republic of Tatarstan Rafael Khakimov. This, one might say, is the number one political strategist in Tatarstan. In the early 90s, he uncompromisingly defended the interests of the republic, was one of the key participants in negotiations between the official delegations of Russia and Tatarstan during the preparation and conclusion of the Treaty between Moscow and Kazan "On the mutual delegation of jurisdiction and authority between the state authorities of the Russian Federation and state authorities Republic of Tatarstan. He was also a participant in the Constitutional Conference on the development of the draft Constitution of Russia, a member of the state commission for the settlement of the conflict in Chechnya.

Rafael Khakimov, one might say, is the number one political strategist in Tatarstan

By the way, it was Khakimov who substantiated the term “model of Tatarstan”, by which modern politicians understand stability, interethnic harmony and tolerant relations between Tatarstan and the Russian Federation. He is the organizer and participant of many scientific conferences on problems of federalism in Russia. Great importance for Tatarstan, his scientific studies of the features of the development of reformed Islam - Jadidism also had. Rafael Sibgatovich is one of the leading bloggers of BUSINESS Online, some of his publications can be viewed at the links.

It should be noted that experts suggested including Rashid Nurgaliyev, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Russia in 2004-2012, in the list, but since he converted to Orthodoxy and does not position himself as a Tatar, the candidacy did not pass. Some even suggested the Minister of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia, Nikolai Nikiforov, insisting that he was a baptized Tatar, but here we decided to wait until he himself admits ...

BUSINESS PEOPLE

Talgat Abdullin carefully departed from politics, as they say, not without friendly advice from the Kazan Kremlin

Executive Director of the State Housing Fund under the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan Talgat Abdullin could rightly be included in the previous ten. Fortunately, as a politician, Talgat Midkhatovich received wide popularity back in the early 90s, when he was one of the most prominent leaders of the Tatar national movement. However, then he carefully departed from politics, as they say, not without friendly advice from the Kazan Kremlin. As a result, it so happened that his main merits lie in the socio-economic plane. First - as the creator of AK BARS Bank, and then as the architect of two housing programs: the elimination of dilapidated housing and social mortgages, the importance of which for Tatarstan can hardly be overestimated.

Kamil Ablyazov is not only an entrepreneur - he invests a lot of money in Tatar culture

Another well-known Russian Tatar businessman, Kamil Ablyazov, lives in Saratov. Ablyazov is the chairman of the board of directors of Narat-K LLC, an adviser to the governor of the Saratov region, as well as a trade representative of Tatarstan in this region and chairman of the regional Tatar national cultural autonomy. Moreover, Ablyazov is not only an entrepreneur - he invests a lot of money in Tatar culture. In April 2013, the World Congress of Tatars organized a presentation of Ablyazov's 800-page two-volume book "The Historical Fate of the Tatars" at the NCC "Kazan". The author himself is sure that "history is not a reason for self-admiration and resting on the laurels of heroic ancestors, but a means of national mobilization." Therefore, he tried to write "a true and internally consistent history of the Tatar people."

Ilyaz Muslimov, from the profession of a wire drawer at a steel wire and rope plant, over the years stepped up to the post of head and became a co-owner of the company

A major Moscow businessman is Ilyaz Muslimov. Over the years, he stepped from the profession of a wire drawer at the Volgograd Steel Wire and Rope Plant to the post of head and became a co-owner of the Myfist company, then the Papyrus holding, which is engaged in the production and trade of pulp and paper. Muslimov was a partner of Rinat Abdullin, the brother of the director of the GZHF Talgat Abdullin. He worked as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Tatar News". In 2007, he was elected to the State Duma as part of the federal list of United Russia. In the election of Vladimir Putin, he was his confidant, he has a letter of thanks from the President of the Russian Federation. He was also awarded the honorary title "Honored Worker of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan".

From scratch, from several outlets opened in 1991, Muslima Latypova created the now famous Bakhetle chain.

From Tatarstan, the Top 50 includes Muslima Latypova - General Director of LLC "Bakhetle-1", deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan. From scratch, from several outlets opened in 1991, she created the now famous Bahetle chain, which already has 28 hypermarkets. What is important, the network has stepped far beyond the borders of the republic - there are stores with this brand and are always popular in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Balashikha. By promoting national cuisine, Latypova makes a huge contribution not only to business, but also to the positive image of the Tatars. As one of the experts said, "the whole of Moscow has already learned the word" Bahetle "!

Shafagat Takhautdinov still enjoys great influence in the Republic of Tatarstan and controls almost all Tatneft service companies

Our list also includes two super-influential entrepreneurs in Tatarstan, who, like Latypova, are also in the Top 100 of Tatarstan's business elite. This is the ex-general director of Tatneft, now a member of the board of directors of OAO Tatneft Shafagat Takhautdinov. He, as the BUSINESS Online newspaper said, still enjoys great influence in the Republic of Tatarstan, and in addition, he controls - through himself, through his family, through close people - almost all Tatneft service companies united in TagraS-Holding , as well as a number of small oil companies. In addition, Takhautdinov is the president (ranked 6th in the BUSINESS Online rating of Top 50 influential people in Tatarstan sports) of the Ak Bars hockey and sports club, business card Tatarstan. It is clear that the current general director of OAO Tatneft, Nail Maganov, enjoys even greater influence.

In our Top 50, experts included the father of the famous pop singer Alsu, a major Russian businessman Ralif Safin, the main owner of the Marr Capital family company (oil products trade, commercial real estate, auto industry). In the early 1990s, Safin took part in the creation and corporatization of Lukoil, and was vice president of the company. However, in 2002 he sold his stake and left all posts, becoming a member of the Federation Council from Altai. Some then attributed to him ambitions to become the new president of Bashkortostan, but in the end, for most Russians, he remained just a rich oilman who managed to turn his daughter into a pop star of the first magnitude.

For most Russians, Ralif Safin remained just a rich oilman who managed to turn his daughter Alsou into a pop star of the first magnitude.

Note that Tariko does not break ties with Tatarstan. “I love my native republic very much,” he admitted in an interview. - My most complex plant, and I have 10 of them, is open in my beloved republic. One of the largest call centers of Russian Standard Bank is located there.” By the way, the Museum of Oriental Medicine "House of the Doctor", opened in the ancient city of Bolgar, was built with the financial participation of Tariko.

Airat Khairullin, "Dairy King", deputy of the State Duma of Russia, co-owner of JSC Krasny Vostok Agro, is also included in the Top 50 by experts. And not only because the business empire of the Khairullin brothers occupies a serious place in agriculture, both in retail and in the hotel business. As a Russian congressman and president of the National Union of Milk Producers, Airat Nazipovich has a significant impact not only on republican, but already on federal policy in agriculture.

"Dairy King" Airat Khairullin has a significant impact not only on the republican, but already on the federal policy in agriculture

Another of the most famous entrepreneurs of Tatarstan is the general director of TAIF OJSC Albert Shigabutdinov. The BUSINESS Online newspaper has repeatedly told what a powerful influence the TAIF group has on the republican budget, on the economy of Tatarstan. And recently, despite the crisis, TAIF has embarked on a super-ambitious investment program worth half a trillion rubles, thanks to which the company's turnover should double in five years, reaching a level of 1.2 trillion. rubles. It is TAIF that owns the TNV television and radio company, which is called upon to bring the Tatar culture to the world. True, the brainchild of Ilshat Aminov practically does not see infusions from the owner.

The lists of our experts included dozens of Tatar entrepreneurs from various cities of Russia - and even (although we decided to limit ourselves to our own country) from abroad, for example, from Australia. With what, with what, and with a business streak, the Tatars never had problems ...

One of the most profoundly Islamic theologians in the country, although, of course, many consider his approaches controversial. A striking example is the episode at the recent holiday "Izge Bolgar Yyeny" in Bolgar, dedicated to the official adoption of Islam in 922. There, Talgat Tadzhutdin, unexpectedly for everyone, handed over to the White Mosque the hair of the Prophet Muhammad, which had previously been kept in Bashkortostan, and from now on will be kept forever in Tatarstan. Some clerics consider this an event of historical proportions, but there are those who were dissatisfied, because there is no unity in Islam on the issue of worshiping such artifacts.

Arabic sounds like "Saif-al-muluk" and translates as "sword of kings." Arabic, like French, Farid Mustafyevich knows perfectly. His fate is generally tightly connected with the East.

So Farid Seyful-Mulyukov entered the Top 50 by right.

The fate of international journalist Farid Seiful-Mulyukov is closely connected with the East

According to our rating, it is clear what an invaluable contribution the Tatar scientists made to the development of the same physics, medicine, Tatar philology. But, of course, the list of Tatar-intellectuals in Russia is not limited to ten names. So, our experts called Iskander Gilyazov - Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Tatar Studies and Turkic Studies of the Institute international relations, history and oriental studies of KFU. This is the same Gilyazov who, at a meeting with Dmitry Medvedev, when he was president of Russia, said that without the Golden Horde there would be no Moscow state. The experts also suggested including Rimzil Valeev, an active public figure, a tireless journalist, and a longtime blogger of BUSINESS Online, in the rating. His materials in our newspaper broke all records in terms of the number of reader comments. And this list can be continued.

CULTURAL WORKERS

Alfiya Avzalova

Sofia Gubaidulina

Zemfira
Salavat



Ilham Shakirov

Zemfira Ramazanova, perhaps the main Russian pop singer of our time, stands apart on the list.

Immediately half of this dozen are brilliant vocalists representing a variety of musical genres. And this should hardly surprise anyone, if we recall the melodiousness of the Tatar language, as well as the role folk songs play in national culture. At the same time, Zemfira Ramazanova, perhaps the main Russian pop singer of our time, stands apart on the list. A native of the capital of Bashkortostan herself admitted for a couple of years during a visit to Kazan: “Many consider me half Tatar (according to my father), half Bashkir (according to my mother), but in fact, as my mother said, once upon a time to my grandmother in the column“ nationality" was written "Bashkir", although she was a Tatar. So I am a Tatar!” In 2008, Zemfira, being the headliner of the legendary Creation of the World festival, gathered 100,000 spectators on Millennium Square, marveling herself from the stage at the number of people who came. She also closed the 2013 Universiade with the hit "We're Crashing". The singer burst onto the top of the charts at the turn of the century, her early records "Zemfira" and "Forgive me, my love" have already become classics of Russian popular music. Since then, the artist has only strengthened her status as a star, continues to write beautiful songs and pays little attention to public opinion regarding her personal life and political views.

Of course, our rating is dominated by the “mastodons” of the Tatar stage, which has long turned into an independent and large-scale industry. Of course, it didn’t exist yet when Ilham Shakirov and Alfiya Avzalova were just starting their careers. The very attitude towards the light genre at that time can be illustrated by a popular anecdote: “The already famous, but still quite young Ilham Shakirov returns to his native village in the Sarmanovsky district. And one of the local old men asked him: “Well, Ilham, will you eat everything? Didn't find a job? These artists changed the status of a pop song, and now the anniversary evening for Shakirov's 80th birthday is taking place in the Moscow Kremlin Palace.

Someone considers Salavat a living classic of the genre, and someone considers him a person who spoiled the taste of several generations of fellow countrymen

And Salavat Fatkhetdinov took the baton from the older generation and has been collecting super-full houses at prestigious Kazan venues for more than a decade. Someone considers Salavat a living classic of the genre, and someone - a man who spoiled the taste of several generations of fellow countrymen. But one thing is certain: this artist is the most influential person in the music industry of modern Tatarstan. By the way, among the names that were called by the experts of BUSINESS Online, there were other singers, for example, Alsou, the heroine of the Voice Dina Garipova or the Australian-Tatar folk star Zulya Kamalova.

Albina Shagimuratova, the main face of the Kazan Opera House, is now a rare guest on her native stage, as she has engagements at the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala

Present among the contenders were also actresses, Zilya Sungatullina and Venera Ganieva, who had equally successfully combined the opera and pop scenes for many years. But Albina Shagimuratova, one of the most sought-after opera singers from Russia in the world, got into our rating. The main face of the theater. Jalil is now a rare guest on her native stage, as she has engagements at the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, etc. It is likely that young Tatar opera stars will soon enter such ratings: soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Venera Gimadieva and soloist of the Vienna Opera Aida Garifullina.

Sofia Gubaidulina is perhaps the world's most famous living female composer of music.

The musical theme of our ten is completed by one of the most important composers of the second half of the last century and, perhaps, the most famous living woman in the world who composes music, Sofia Gubaidulina. A native of Chistopol has been living in Germany for a long time, but does not lose ties with her homeland - there is a center for contemporary music named after her in Kazan. The name of Gubaidulina is also on the poster of the traditional festival Concordia, which is held by the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan. In addition to the living classic, our experts proposed other active composers in the rating: the permanent author of the Kazan Opera House Reseda Akhiyarova and the young hope Elmira Nizamova.

Chulpan Khamatova became the theater star of Sovremennik with Galina Volchek, and now she is increasingly working at the Theater of Nations Yevgeny Mironov

The most famous Tatar actresses shine on the Moscow theater stage. It is unlikely that anyone needs to introduce Chulpan Khamatova, the famous artist and head of the Podari Zhizn charity foundation. Even at the turn of the century, Khamatova became the theatrical star of Sovremennik with Galina Volchek, and now she is increasingly working at the Theater of Nations, Yevgeny Mironov. And in the cinema, twice the winner of the State Prize of the Russian Federation starred in most of the major Russian directors - from Vadim Abdrashitov to Alexei German Jr. But the path to the glory of Rosa Khairullina turned out to be much more thorny. In the 90s, she played in the famous performances of Boris Zeitlin at the Kazan Youth Theater, receiving the State Prize of the Russian Federation in 1992 for her work in the production “And there was evening, and there was morning ...”

Already in adulthood, Roza Khairullina received an invitation to the theater studio of Oleg Tabakov and is now one of the most sought-after dramatic actresses in the capital of Russia

A fire in 1996 destroyed that legendary theatre, and Khairullina went to seek happiness first in Chelyabinsk and then in Samara. Already in adulthood, the artist received an invitation to the theater studio of Oleg Tabakov and is now one of the most sought-after dramatic actresses in the capital of Russia. She played in a good dozen high-profile metropolitan performances at the Snuffbox, the Moscow Art Theater, the Theater of Nations, etc., and critics in almost every review honor Khairullin with the epithet “brilliant”. In 2013, she received the Golden Mask for her role as King Lear in one of the most talked about Russian performances. recent years- "Lear" by Konstantin Bogomolov in the St. Petersburg theater "Shelter of Comedians". For her first notable film role in the film "Horde", the actress was awarded the "Nika" award.

Farid Bikchantaev for 13 years of managing the theater. Kamala not only preserved its glorious traditions, but also found his way as a director and director

Continues the theme and the figure of Farid Bikchantaev - artistic director of the theater. Kamala. Bikchantaev took over the reins of the main Tatar theater in 2002 from the hands of his teacher, the legendary Marcel Salimzhanov, and over the past 13 years, not only has he maintained glorious traditions, but also found his way as a director and leader. The current Kamalovsky theater is trying to go beyond exclusively Tatar drama, finding a place for itself in the global theatrical space, inscribing national culture in the context created by Shakespeare and Chekhov. At the same time, Tatar authors also find their place here - one of them is Rkail Zaydulla, more than once called “BUSINESS Online” by experts. His play "Immortal Love" tells how during the years of Stalin's arbitrariness, the Tatar culture suffered enormous losses, being on the verge of extinction, and how then-forgotten names are again returned to descendants. Were among the contenders for getting into the cultural top ten and another author of the theater. Kamala Zulfat Hakim, writer Rinat Muhammadiev, and also poet Razil Valeev, who ended up in the rating of our newspaper for another “curia”.

The name of Rkail Zaydulla has been repeatedly called worthy of inclusion in the Top 50 by experts

10 MOST OUTSTANDING ATHLETES

Rinat Dasaev




Aliya Mustafina

Shamil Tarpishchev

Athens 2004 Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva was a deputy State Duma from Tatarstan, and now heads the board of directors of the National Media Group holding

Perhaps the main star of the sports part of our rating is Alina Kabaeva. And the point is not at all in the numerous rumors around the personal life of the athlete. Kabaeva is a real world star who has raised the world's interest in rhythmic gymnastics at the beginning of the century to a qualitatively new level. She had an amazingly long career for a sport that is considered exclusively for young ladies. Kabaeva won her first all-around world championship in 1999, and she won the last awards in her career at the world forum in 2007 at the “retirement” age for rhythmic gymnastics - 24 years old. Since then, the Athens 2004 Olympic champion has been a State Duma deputy from Tatarstan, and now heads the board of directors of the National Media Group holding.

Aliya Mustafina is another Olympic champion in gymnastics, however, already in sports

Here we can also mention another gymnast, one of the most important stars of the 2013 Universiade in Kazan, Aliya Mustafina. True, she represents gymnastics, but from this the gold medal of Mustafina on Olympic Games ah in London 2012 in the uneven bars exercise is only even more valuable, since we are talking about a sport where Russia is very far from hegemony.

Zinetula Bilyaletdinov found his coaching happiness precisely on historical homeland

Ice hockey in the BUSINESS Online rating is represented by athletes who have become, respectively, coaching and game legends of Tatarstan. True, before appearing in Kazan, one of the best hockey defenders of his generation, Olympic champion and 6-time world champion Zinetula Bilyaletdinov had a great career in the Soviet team and Dynamo Moscow. But Bilyaletdinov found his coaching happiness in his historical homeland. His Ak Bars is undoubtedly the best hockey team in Russia in the second half of the 2000s.

Danis Zaripov is one of the main stars of Tatarstan hockey

And Danis Zaripov is one of the main stars of that team. At one time, a graduate of the Chelyabinsk "Mechel" appeared in Kazan and did not at all promise to become a top hockey player, but Bilyaletdinov, putting the forward in the top three of Alexei Morozov and Sergei Zinoviev, determined his stellar fate. And although the three-time world champion Zaripov, who spent 12 seasons at Ak Bars, now plays for Metallurg Magnitogorsk, it seems that he has not yet said his last word in Kazan hockey.

Alisa Galliamova almost made it to the title of world chess champion in 1999

The most intellectual sport on Earth sent two of its glorious representatives to our list at once. Alisa Galliamova almost reached the title of world chess champion in 1999, but in the final match, held in Kazan, she lost to the Chinese chess player Xie Jun. That does not cancel other numerous titles of the Tatarstan athlete.

At 18, Gata Kamsky beat Garry Kasparov to become the youngest ever winner of a reigning world champion.

And around Gata Kamsky at one time there was a whole mass hysteria. The 18-year-old athlete representing the United States defeated Garry Kasparov at the prestigious tournament in Dortmund in 1992, becoming the youngest ever winner of a reigning world champion. Perhaps Kamsky did not justify the advances given to him in his youth, but for many years he was among the top chess players on the planet, and now periodically appears in his homeland and even sometimes defends the colors of Kazan and Tatarstan in various tournaments.

Marat Safin is the pride of Russian tennis, two-time Davis Cup winner and winner of two Grand Slam tournaments

Marat Safin is the pride of Russian tennis, two-time Davis Cup winner and winner of two Grand Slam tournaments. Perhaps one of the most spectacular players on the professional tour, and the number of rackets he broke during moments of emotional outbursts is incalculable.

Shamil Tarpishchev, who is now in charge of the development program of this sport in Tatarstan under the auspices of the Volga Academy of Sports, although he did not achieve great success as a player, is by no means accidental in our list. It is with his name that the surge in the results of Russian tennis players is associated. The former adviser to Yeltsin, a big fan of the racket and ball game, made the most of his influence. Perhaps, without Tarpishchev, the long-term head of the profile federation of Russia and the captain of the national team, we would not have had Safin, Evgeny Kafelnikov, Elena Dementieva, or Anastasia Myskina.

Our sports top ten is completed by two representatives of team sports. Rinat Dasaev - the best football goalkeeper in the world in 1988, the undisputed star. The long-term goalkeeper of the Moscow "Spartak" and the USSR national team in our country is second only to Lev Yashin in his goalkeeping glory. This year, a native of Astrakhan, where he lives a large number of Tatars, visited Kazan for an amateur mini-football cup of his own name. And Irek Zinnurov did not leave his home for a long time. He won his "silver" and "bronze" at the water polo tournaments of the Olympics in Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, being a player of Spartak Volgograd, but then returned to Sintez Kazan. Since then, Zinnurov has been in various positions in his native Synthesis and is actively involved in public life republics. And recently, the water polo legend helped the Tatarstan national team win the Masters World Championship in Kazan.

Water polo legend Irek Zinnurov recently helped the Tatarstan national team win the Masters World Championship in Kazan

The list we have compiled, of course, is subjective and by no means claims to be exhaustive. Therefore, we invite our readers to complete the list by offering their candidates! Let's put together a collective portrait of the brightest and most successful representatives of the Tatar nation.

General characteristics of the Tatar people and population

It is not for nothing that the people of the Tatars are considered the most mobile of all known peoples. Fleeing from crop failures in their native lands and in search of opportunities to establish trade, they quickly moved to the central regions of Russia, Siberia, the Far Eastern regions, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Donbas steppes. IN Soviet time this migration was particularly active. Today, Tatars live in Poland and Romania, China and Finland, the USA and Australia, as well as in Latin America and Arab countries. Despite such a territorial distribution, the Tatars in each country try to unite in communities, carefully preserving their cultural values, language and traditions. To date total strength The Tatar population is 6 million 790 thousand people, of which almost 5.5 million live on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The main language of the ethnic group is Tatar. It distinguishes three main dialectical directions - eastern (Siberian-Tatar), western (Mishar) and middle (Kazan-Tatar). The following sub-ethnic groups are also distinguished: Astrakhan, Siberian, Tatars-Mishars, Ksimovsky, Kryashens, Perm, Polish-Lithuanian, Chepetsky, Teptyars. Initially, the writing of the Tatar people was based on Arabic graphics. Over time, the Latin alphabet began to be used, and later - the Cyrillic alphabet. The vast majority of Tatars adhere to the Muslim faith, they are called Sunni Muslims. There is also a small number of Orthodox, who are called Kryashens.

Features and traditions of Tatar culture

The Tatar people, like any other, have their own special traditions. So, for example, the ceremony of marriage assumes that their parents have the right to agree on the wedding of boys and girls, and the young people are simply informed. Before the wedding, the size of the kalym, which the groom pays to the bride's family, is discussed. Celebrations and a feast in honor of the newlyweds, as a rule, take place without them. To this day, it is accepted that it is unacceptable for the groom to enter the bride's parental home for permanent residence.

Cultural traditions, and especially in terms of educating the younger generation from the very early childhood Tatars are very strong. The decisive word and power in the family belongs to the father - the head of the family. That is why girls are taught to be submissive to their husbands, and boys are taught to be able to dominate, but at the same time treat their spouse very carefully and carefully. Patriarchal traditions in families are stable to this day. Women, in turn, are very fond of cooking and revere Tatar cuisine, sweets and all kinds of pastries. A richly laid table for guests is considered a sign of honor and respect. Tatars are known for their reverence and immense respect for their ancestors, as well as older people.

Famous representatives of the Tatar people

IN modern life there are quite a lot of people from this glorious people. For example, Rinat Akhmetov is a famous Ukrainian businessman, the richest Ukrainian citizen. In the world of show business, the legendary producer Bari Alibasov, Russian actors Renata Litvinova, Chulpan Khamatova and Marat Basharov, singer Alsou became famous. The famous poetess Bella Akhmadulina and rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva also have Tatar roots on their father's side and are honored figures of the Russian Federation. It is impossible not to recall the first racket of the world - Marat Safin.

The Tatar people are a nation with their own traditions, national language and cultural values, which are closely connected with the history of others and not only. This is a nation with a special character and tolerance, which has never initiated conflicts on ethnic, religious or political grounds.

Every nation is proud of its famous representatives. We all know, remember, respect the most famous representatives of their kind. Tatars are no exception.

Marat Safin - tennis player, previously - the first racket of the world for 9 weeks.

There are many outstanding personalities among the famous Tatars, and it is simply impossible to list them all in one article.

His figure is immortalized on a sculptural composition on Red Square.
