Still, there is no limit to the rudeness and cruelty of Russians. They set their sights on our lands, captured us at one time, because of which we were missing almost half of our then population, they began to exploit us with all their might, turn us into drunkards, impose on us values alien to us, and promote immorality and depravity. You are so blatantly pumping out our resources, but it’s all of Russia that feeds on them, that is, on the resources of the national people’s territories, without which you would drown in shit! You are occupiers on our lands! It’s only you, the occupiers, who still dare to spread your Russian nationalism here, not at home, shouting that Russia is for Russians, and the rest go to three letters. You occupiers are against our religion of Islam, you don’t like Islam, it’s in your throat (why did they come after us then?) so now they’re going to evict us from our lands to countries that are foreign to us, have you gone completely crazy?? ?
Fard Muhammad, 17/04/13
And you dare to say that you don’t love us and it’s all our fault? Of course, with the Russians, everyone around is to blame, but not them. It is you who need to be sent to hell from Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Yakutia, Siberia, Tyva, Buryatia, Udmurtia and the rest of the territory beyond the Urals back to your Central Russian Upland, so that you can sit there quietly and spread your favorite nationalism only on your own territory. The Russian occupiers have become completely insolent, we are still tolerating your oppression, but the day is not far off when our patience will run out, we will strike back and rip open the belly of the Russian bear, throwing out all his intestines, and give him a good ass back to his native den, so much so that in the future the descendant of this Russian bear will NEVER open his horn to someone else’s mouth!

04/14/13, Zakh PLEASE REPLY 1 what do you understand by the word Russian? 2 what is Islam in your opinion? 3 what is this RUSSIAN COUNTRY? 4 what is “Russian” culture? DID YOU KNOW that the genetics of the so-called “Russians” are fundamentally different from the rest of the Slavs by 78.2%. that about 60% of the “Russian nobility” are of “Tatar” origin, for example the Golitsyns, Naryshkins, Yusupovs, Akhmatovs, Karamurzins, Gagarins, Bunins, Turgenevs, Arakcheevs, Suvorovs, Godunovs, Mansurovs, Vereshchagins-Kutuzovs, etc.
goodman, 22/04/13
What is there to be happy about? I don't understand. I am for living in peace and harmony with everyone. There are nationalists and there are pseudo-nationalists. There are ten times more of the latter. In both cases, for Russia, nationalism is a utopia, which would mean the collapse of Russia. The Russian Federation is multinational and multi-religious. Nationalism is destructive for Russia.
Clever, 07/05/13
But Russians don’t like anyone. They destroy all the peoples they live next to. They kill them, try to assimilate them by force, destroy their culture and languages. Only God knows when this genocide against the indigenous peoples of Russia will end. This will probably not happen in our lifetime.
Inara, 08/05/13
You are not supposed to experience joy. Many nationalists have divorced recently. And the roots originate in cowardice, malice and fear of “foreigners”. The posts in this thread clearly illustrate this.
Izolda1990, 08/05/13
They hate, they destroy. That's for sure. But this is not ignorance, but fear. Just fear. They realized that they had lost. Russians are DYING OUT. ALREADY EXTINCTION. They no longer exist at all. Their hatred itself consumed them. They hate everyone and everything. Hatred is the wrath of the weak. It's from weakness.
Poker face, 12/05/13
There are different people among them. Both good and bad. And it seems that they also live on their own land in Russia. Everyone has shortcomings. But, living in the same state, why hate each other? The strength of Russia is in its unity! In the unity of all peoples living in Russia!
Sex Fabregas, 13/05/13
The title of the topic is initially incorrect. Russians treat the small peoples of Russia adequately, but they are hated by non-Russians who want the collapse of Russia. They have no homeland, no religion, no language, no nationality. Calling these Jewish jackals Russian is somehow stupid.
alaev1993, 05/12/13
More and more often I meet Russians who are proud, boast and crucify about their lack of upbringing, honor, masculinity, femininity, hiding behind emancipation. We don't understand them. They don't understand us. With Islam a long time ago, the concept of Namus (honor) came to us...however, what does this have to do with them?
Twelve months, 06/12/13
I wouldn't say that I don't like them, but rather that I don't understand them. Basically, for some reason they look aloof and proud. Perhaps this is because they are proud of their past conquests, which they had in the Middle Ages, under their rulers Genghis Khan and Batu Khan, as well as their descendants. But, in my opinion, there is nothing particularly to be proud of here, because during these conquests, these warlike nomadic tribes once destroyed many other original cultures, especially in China and Central Asia. By the way, I don’t remember that any of them ever regretted it later.
Ildarian, 09/12/13
Well, first of all, because I myself am a Tatar, and I also have Bashkir blood. I grew up in Nizhnevartovsk, where there are a lot of Tatars and Russians, and we grew up in the same place, and we didn’t see any difference between ourselves. And only as I grew older did national self-awareness come. But this only resulted from an interest in one’s history and culture, and not from any kind of nationalism. And that’s why I was surprised that Russians there don’t like Tatars, or vice versa. And this was especially felt when in the 90s people flocked to us from everywhere. And from Asia, and from the Caucasus, and from the Slavic neighboring countries and from the central regions, the so-called. Big ladies. It was then that interethnic hostility became sharply felt. And here is the arrogance of Caucasians, and the alien mentality of Asians, and Great Russian chauvinism. A visiting Russian from Belarus told me here that the Tatars have arrived here in large numbers. It seems they raised this city in a place with Russians and Ukrainians. Of course, I understand the hostility towards those who came in large numbers, but the Tatars and Bashkirs lived on the territory of Russia even before the emergence of Russia
I myself am a Tatar and my ancestors are from the Nizhny Novgorod region... Judging by the state and as one figure here put it, the “uncleanliness” of Tatar and Russian villages, I will say one thing - there is not a single Russian village in the Nizhny Novgorod region that would even come close in beauty and cleanliness to the Tatar, on the contrary, the Russians live like real pigs and alcoholics.... while in the Tatar villages unique mosques and infrastructure are being built throughout the world.. Who doesn’t believe, visit the Nizhny Novgorod region, the Krasnooktyabrsky district, or at least even the website www.medina. su
29/09/05, THE PRESIDENT
I don’t know if there were Tatars among my ancestors, but they don’t cause any antipathy in me. 1) I like Tatar girls, and the slight squinting of the eyes of some of them only gives them a zest. 2) They recruit, I think, not Tatars in general, but specifically their relatives, whom they trust. What's strange about this? 3) Russians have and will have enemies, but the Tatars, with all their possible shortcomings, are in no way a match for them. 4) And I would not compare the Tatars with Jews. Tatars are warriors, and Jews are traders. 5) But about the special “cleanliness” of the Tatars in the villages - this is funny, because in Russian villages there have long been only ragamuffins, drunks and grannies under 80 years old. And all the more or less capable Russians moved to the cities a long time ago. In addition, I personally saw Tatar drunks who drink vodka bought from gypsies.
30/09/05, GOPNIK
I would not say that Tatars are more successful than Russians or Ukrainians, which is what I am. Only if in Tatarstan. In other areas it is the opposite. They are less educated, which has an effect. And I would not say that they are allies. They are part of all of us and they still have nowhere to go. They are in the middle of Russia.
19/10/05, Ukrainian
How can you love or not love an entire people? You can love individual representatives of this people, but also dislike someone in particular. I respect the Tatars. This is a nation of hard workers - not in the sense that they are all representatives of blue-collar professions, but in the sense of their attitude to work, whatever it may be - on the land, in production or in the intellectual sphere. They are smart, cunning, there are few cowards and lazy people among them, most of them are very musical (sort of Italians from Russia - but no one will ever admit this due to the foreignness of their creativity) - this is why I respect them.
29/11/05, Ilham
I was simply amazed by such evil on the part of people (right column) towards us Tatars. You claim that the Crimean Tatars oppress the Russians. There is no point in looking for a straw in your neighbor's eye if you yourself have a log. Russians have especially strong nationalism, and this explains all the negative statements. And you also thought that we, too, have been “under your yoke” for more than 400 years.
29/11/05, DOAG
An interesting nation with a tragic and interesting history. And everyone has Nazis. About the yoke - this is nonsense on both sides, echoes of the “Western” lie about the Eastern barbarians. Everything happened - the Russians took Kazan, and Batu Rus' imposed tribute, but also the troops of the “Mongols” allied with ours - the Tatars fought off the terrible invasion of the Livonian knights into Rus' and the Russians accepted refugees from the horde of the times of terror of the Uzbek Khan. We are different but close peoples.
30/11/05, Abish
Interesting people. The truth is sometimes annoying. Everyone I meet talks a lot.
22/01/06, Grand Duchess
It’s not that I like Tatars, I just think that all nationalities have the right to “be”, regardless of whether they are on their national territory or have migrated. And it is not for us to judge the traditions of this or that people. Some Russian traditions, if you dig deep, do not please the Russians themselves. And their appearance is not the same as described in the next column (NON-attractive people are found in all nationalities). They do not live in yurts or clay houses, but in ordinary ones - brick or wooden. The bad thing is that marriage between a Russian girl and a Tatar guy is rare, which is bad, at least for me... I really, really love one guy, he’s a Tatar... But nothing will work out for us - I understand that, so I try not to fall in love with him more and more every day! But... unfortunately, I can't do it. And he... he, in my opinion, completely excludes the possibility of our union... and he himself tries to distance himself from me. :-(And I love him very much...
02/05/06, UghOnYou
Just so you know, the Tatars are genetically related to European peoples. This is because they are a mixed people of Slavs + Bulgars and then only added to them + Tatars.
02/05/06, Goddog
Just so you know, those Tatars who descended from the Slavs have nothing in common with those who are called “Tatars” today and with the Tatar-Mongol yoke, in particular. In the Tatar-Mongolian, or, rather, in the Mongol-Tatar (ranked by priority), completely different tribes participated. They just had a similar name. And the Bulgar Tatars successfully died out back in the fifth century. This is a historical falsification.
05/06/06, upstairs neighbor
Who told you that the Bulgar Tatars are extinct? :)) and who are the Tatars then? Miongols, Slavs?:) Nonsense, the Bulgars are a Turkic tribe, so the Tatars are Turks, without any Slavs, etc.
24/06/06, Herd of Eared Hedgehogs
I am not delighted with the Tatar culture and mentality (because they are Asian, therefore backward), but I like our Tatar appearance. Among the Tatars there can be all types of appearance, due to the fact that they are a mixture of a huge number of different tribes. Similar to Northern Europeans, Turks, Mediterraneans, Georgians, Arabs, Mongols, Chinese, some other incredible mixtures... For example, high cheekbones and slanted eyes but white hair.
12/09/06, Tartain en Afrique
The tribute in the so-called “yoke” was 10%, less than the VAT that your state established for you. Only thanks to the Tatars and the “yoke” did Urusia gain statehood, because for the most part you are stupid, and you yourself are not capable of anything - just to steal somewhere, get drunk on vodka and fight. You can also remember about the forced baptism of the Tatars, when people were killed if they tried to maintain their faith. Are the Russian people a fair people? And the yoke of Urusia over Tatarstan has lasted for almost 500 years, so it’s like looking at who is oppressing whom
12/03/07, TaToshka
How can you say this about people who, by the way, Tatars live in Russia on an equal basis with Russians; half of our population is Tatars. Personally, I’m certainly not a pure Tatar, but half of it is for sure, I have almost no Russian blood at all, but I have a Russian name , last name, and even patronymic, and no one will ever distinguish me from a Russian. So shut your mouths, dense people who judge people by the vague memories of their grandmother!
12/03/07, LE
I will change my rule of not touching on national topics - I was very impressed by the people from the right column... First, in fairness, it should be noted that there is some truth in their words: among the Tatars there are indeed people who elevate their nation too much. However, please name at least one nationality that does not have such representatives... But what surprised me most were the other arguments in the red column: another religion, stupid language, appearance... I, in principle, can understand the first two: Islam and I don’t really like the Tatar language myself (although it’s stupid to hate the Tatars themselves because of this), but the words about their supposedly ugly appearance just finished me off... As they say, it would be funny if it weren’t so sad... I I can’t talk about all Tatars, but among them I know a lot of beautiful people - in terms of their inner world and appearance. Yes, there are also unpleasant personalities, but I don’t see anything surprising in this - this is inherent in any nationality.
19/11/07, matures
What kind of people are you?! For this reason, did our great-grandfathers shed rivers of blood and give their lives during the Second World War? In order to now decide which nationality is good and which is bad? Yes, you are all fascists! be ashamed! no one is asked before birth what nationality he should be... and who is better to judge, not us and not you. it all depends on the person, in every nation there are pigs and heroes. and in my opinion it is very stupid to now remember events that took place centuries ago, Genghis Khan has long been mixed with the soil, and history has long been mixed with the same soil. and in general, people, you should be really ashamed of this. especially to the authors of the site... try to do the same about Jews... yes, you will all be sent to a gas van for this
29/11/07, Nadia
My grandfather is a Tatar, and I don’t know a more loving and caring grandfather! And about painted firewood: you try (instead of scolding the Tatars) to build a house, raise children, take care of the garden, keep everything perfectly clean, help your neighbors, while working in a factory and at the age of 80 be an indispensable specialist. who is asked to advise young specialists, and even paint firewood!
25/01/08, Al Bundy
My wife is Tatar, from a very intelligent family, they treat me well, even though she is not a Tatar. I won’t describe their merits, that’s not the point. My father (Belarusian) often behaves incorrectly towards her. As if by chance, he starts talking about the backwardness of “some” peoples, about the fact that Russians have mixed blood, not purely Slavic (a hint at the Tatars), therefore, they say, there is no order in Russia. Well, this is my dad, I can’t do anything about it. But my wife is a great fellow, she silently listens to this nonsense, only smiles with her eyes, and looks straight into his eyes with dignity. He mutters more and more quietly. ALL! Curtain... And if she began to argue with him, she would become like him. So you, writing in the left column, don’t get excited, be on top.
08/04/08, gds
I am a Tatar myself. It was interesting to find out who thinks what about my nation. The people in the right column are fringe assholes. Can an intelligent person generalize the personal qualities of people based on their nationality? Of course not. However, there were idiots from the left column who wrote nasty things about Russians, which once again confirms the above. I believe that those who try to incite ethnic hatred should be severely punished. Fortunately, there are such a minority. There is no nation in which all its people share one character trait. And since all people are different, it means that we must treat everyone differently, i.e. The approach to each person must be individual. All these stereotypes about nationalities only hinder us and create injustice. In general, writing in the left or right column is not correct in itself. Loving us is just as stupid as not loving us. Tatars are millions of people, and among them there are people whom I love and people whom I hate. I can say the same about the Russians.
14/07/08, UrusTugel
Salam Tatarlar!!! I am surprised by some of the Tatars from the left column, who begin to make excuses: that not all Tatars are like that, that one cannot judge by a group of Tatars or by one person - a Tatar. Do you think they will change their minds towards us, personally I don’t think so. But we really are like that: cunning (everyone knows this), praising our people, and there is nothing bad about that. Have you seen any person who would speak badly about his nation? Personally, I fully support the activities of the Tatars in Crimea in relation to the Russians, because there is no other way with them. I had many Russian friends, and I was disappointed in almost all of them, because they were cowards and envious people. Now my friends are mostly Tatars, and a few Kazakh friends who treat me very respectfully and on whom I can rely! P.S. Many nations have a positive attitude towards the Tatars (the majority are Muslims), but I don’t know a single nation that would love Russians!!! Allahu Akbar!!!
17/07/08, Freska
My boyfriend is Tatar on my mother’s side, Russian on my father’s side and his name is Russian. was born in Tatarstan, and now lives in Ukraine =) I love him, and with this comes sympathy and tolerance for other Tatars (although I have a dislike for Islam) despite the fact that I am Ukrainian, and, as everyone says, that Tatars trampled on our land for 300 years. his slanted eyes cause only delight! Sometimes I jokingly call him my “Khan” :)
06/09/08, sgyWenka
Personally, Bashkir and Tatar blood flows in me. I live in Chelyabinsk. I almost assimilated. as the person wrote above in the right column, like that in our city the Tatars turn up their noses, etc. I’ve never noticed this and I don’t do it myself :) they write such nonsense in the law. count: she repeated after me...they also repeated after me, sort of like a Russian friend. but this is not because of the nationality, but because perhaps she was looking for herself, etc. kindergarten! funny! not to like people because in addition to Russian they also speak another language - beyond idiocy)) there were people, cat. threw, set up, etc. - it’s just that PEOPLE are like that themselves, and not because of their nationality. There are also teachers and employers. They treat me negatively, I don’t even know why. It's a shame. In short, if people are shitty, then these are human qualities, not national ones. I respect all religions, although I don’t profess anything myself. if a person doesn’t like someone because of their nationality, and he doesn’t know which person, and hasn’t communicated with him normally, then that’s a problem...
09/09/08, gerluskoni
I wouldn’t say that I like the Tatars. There’s a lot of truth in both the right column and the left. I sympathize with them a little, probably only for two reasons: 1) My girlfriend is a Tatar. She’s beautiful, she’ll be more beautiful than the Russians. 2) The fact that the Russians are really in They don’t even see the logs with their own eyes. Just look at how we live - everyone drinks, kills and steals a son from his father, or vice versa. We live like beggars, although we are Orthodox. Have you seen Kazan (even if this is the view from the outside, but how it is inside is the work of the Tatars themselves)? A clean, beautiful city. Look at the cities where the majority of the population is Russian - how can you then say that the Tatars are “pigs”. Sometimes my fellow countrymen kill me with their cattle behavior.. We ourselves are destroying our country - and since the Tatars are going over our heads, then this is not their problem , and ours. Russians are a lazy people. Tatars, and not only them, are hardworking people. If you work for a Tatar and you don’t like it, quit the hell. What’s the problem???? On the other hand, the Tatars are really arrogant people. There are a lot of them, and of course they have bad ones. It’s a pity there is no middle column.
08/10/08, Renat
I am a purebred Tatar, my ancestors never interfered, the descendants of the Meshchera Tatars - immigrants from the Golden Horde. I will only take a Tatar as my wife - so that there is a strong family. I respect all peoples in the Russian Federation. There is only one God. I have never been a nationalist and in my life I have never allowed lawlessness. You are looking for those who benefit from interethnic strife in order to quietly steal resources. I have a best friend - a Russian, you could say my brother. I can’t stand Alsou and baptized Tatars. Russian people - treat the Tatars with respect! And the Crimean ones too. Our grandfathers gave their lives for the USSR, I have 4 great-uncles who died....
12/10/08, xcombx
I'm Tatar! I read so many bad things on this forum that my hair stood on end. Isn’t there nothing for the people to do other than insult the nation? I couldn’t even think badly about the Russians, how they think about us!
16/10/08, Vigorous
It’s a shame that in the left column, there’s also a lot of bad stuff written about Russians, like booze and all that, although I myself am Russian and don’t drink at all, and my grandparents don’t drink at all. About the Tatars +) my best friend is Tatar, he’s never met me he threw me out and I never set him up =) he told me a lot about his ancestors, etc. so I respect the Tatars and he respects the Russians.
21/10/08, Teddy
Some of the people are for the Reds; they have no idea what the Tatars look like or how they live! But Tatarstan is one of the most advanced republics in the country. And my grandmother said that, probably because her first unrequited love was a Tatar, and, as you know, love, when unrequited, turns into hatred. I lived in Kazan, nothing bothered me, and the Tatars and Russians and everyone else live in peace. And the fact that every nation has its own quirks is normal.
21/10/08, ghosty
I don’t understand why you need to hate the Tatars? These are people just like us. Although there are certainly traits of national pride and brotherhood, which Russians consider mutual responsibility, this is an absolutely normal phenomenon among peoples whose numbers are much smaller than the dominant nation. I have a Tatar friend. A man of the sweetest soul. I appeal to Russian “patriots” - put your tongue in one place before you talk about “Russian land”. This is our common home. ps: I'm Russian. pps: this site needs to be closed as it incites national hatred.
21/10/08, One of us
Yes, guys, don’t confuse the Tatars with the notorious Mongol-Tatar yoke. The first Tatars, the Bulgars, although they belonged to the Turkic group of the Altai language family, belonged to the Aryan race and lived on the Volga until they were captured, oddly enough, by the same Batu hordes. Yes, as a result of the invasion, they mixed very much with the yellow race... but who is worse off from this? Let me remind you that the leader of the major Volga-Kama anti-feudal uprising, which occurred at the beginning of the 17th century, during the Time of Troubles, just 50 years after the conquest of Kazan, was called - attention - Nikanor Shulgin. Let me remind you that when the Kazan Archbishop Luka Konashevich, noted in history for his obscurantism, gathered a crowd of rabble and led them to the rich Staro-Tatar settlement in Zakabanye, the Tatars turned for help to the Russians from the Yamskaya and Mokra settlements and together hung the pogromists as hot ones. Kazan Tatars are one of the few Islamic peoples to whom nationalism is alien.
22/10/08, Ruffy
In the parva column, Tatars are often compared to pigs, but they don’t eat pork at all - the animal is dirty. Dogs are also considered dirty, so they should not be kept in the house. At least the Tatars are smart enough not to get drunk at funerals and then not scream songs. And they don’t scream bitter tears - they just cry quietly. The Tatars are a pure nation that respects traditions and their ancestors, unlike many other nations. In terms of appearance, they are all completely different. I am a purebred Tatar - I have a European facial type: fair skin, blue eyes. People from the right column, be kind and pay attention to your nation before judging others.
24/10/08, Chistatatar
I am a purebred Tatar, my ancestors lived and fought for me to be born, and it will continue to be so! I am simply shocked by the statements in the right column! I treat Russians with the same respect as I treat Tatars and would never have thought that there are still people who hate Tatars and at the same time live next to me in Tatarstan. Russians and especially half-Russian-half-Tatars - Islam - Religion of Peace, all the little evil that the Tatar does (all people are sinners) is only a defensive reaction, but why you are doing this is not clear to me, but I think those few who unsubscribed here are young and With age, you yourself will doubt the correctness of these words, and this is half the way to the truth!
24/10/08, AsylTurk
I’m a Tatar from Alhamdu Lille, and I don’t care what some people say here, I can also tell you a lot about the Russians, but I’ll refrain. I’m really offended to see how my people are changing and not for the better.... I’m interested in one thing, as if without the support of the Tatars you would have won at least one war, be it Napoleon or Hitler! if we had turned against you right now, Russia would not exist as it is, and so write insults to another nation without noticing your own shit under your nose! and about the fact that if a Tatar is a zealous Muslim, then this is horror...in fact, such people are not what you imagine....and there someone wrote that the Tatars did not know how to write and read and all that, there was the Volga Bulgaria State which arose earlier than Rus' and there was a culture that Russians could only dream of, and this is the state. was conquered by the Mongols, and there is no need to write nonsense, do not disgrace yourself and your nation!!
24/10/08, sieben
Judging by the comments from the right column, it’s time to stop letting schoolchildren on the Internet. As they say, they make him dumb. What the hell is this about sour milk, the wall, noses and yurts? There are enough idiots everywhere - it doesn’t depend on nationality or religion. Before you write, be sure you know what you are writing about.
All Tatars are cunning
This stereotype is most likely due to historical fact. According to the results of the 1897 census, the Tatars turned out to be one of the most literate peoples of the Russian Empire. The population knew how to read in their native language and often in Arabic or Turkish. The Tatars made the most competent spies. If a person knew the Tatar language, he could speak Kazakh, Turkish, Uzbek - all the languages of this language group.
Tatars are prudent and economical - “To you, Tatars, if only for free”
The Tatars were mainly merchants by occupation. Since any merchant is looking for favorable conditions, where to buy cheaper and where to sell more expensive, many Tatars to this day are distinguished by thrift and prudence.
Tatars are not welcome as guests - “An uninvited guest is worse than a Tatar”
The expression arose during the Mongol invasion, when Rus' was under the Tatar-Mongol yoke. Naturally, they did not like the invaders, so any Tatar who came to the house was always considered an uninvited and unexpected guest. Times and circumstances have changed, but this expression remains alive.
Tatars are hardworking
This stereotype, according to representatives of the Tatar nationality, reflects reality. Tatars are indeed very hardworking and diligent in their work.
Tatar women cook well and are very clean
From time immemorial many young peoplecoming from Iran and different ends Asia, took Tatar women as wives. Because Tatar womenalways differentcleanliness and literacy. Even before the Golden Horde, it was customary for the Tatars to study at madrasahs, and both boys and girls completed the required four classes. After this, the boys studied further, and the girls prepared for family life. They learned to spin, embroider, sew, and cook. They began to prepare their dowry for themselves at the age of five.
No languages other than Tatar are spoken in Tatarstan
The stereotype is associated with a real fact - Tatars respect their native language and speak it well. Young people in Tatarstan consider it their duty to learn their native language. But at the same time, the majority of the population of Tatarstan is fluent in Russian and knows foreign languages.
"T atar ashar da kachar" - the Tatar will eat and run away
The Tatars have never been ungrateful, and this expression has no basis in truth.
The expression “Kazan orphan”
Not a stereotype, but this expression is often used in speech. It dates back to the time of the conquest of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible. The king wanted to win over the local nobility and distributed gifts as compensation for losses incurred. Some Tatars pretended that they had suffered greatly from the hostilities. This is where this expression comes from.
We express our gratitude to Ravil Valeev, Zemfira Makhmedovna Nizamutdinova and all participants of the Tatar-Bashkir cultural center “Tan” for their help in creating the material.
Today, Tatars are treated differently. On the one hand, they are admired, because it was they, together with their brothers the Mongols, who managed to conquer a good half (if not more) of the Old World. On the other hand, they are not treated very friendly, because there is an opinion that the character of the Tatars is far from ideal. warlike, brave, cunning and to a certain extent cruel. But the truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle.
The character of the Tatars was largely determined by the conditions in which they lived. Nomads, as you know, were hardy people, strong and brave. They could easily adapt not only to any weather conditions, but also to any life situations. But the Tatars always remained faithful to their national traditions; the life of the community was led by smart people in accordance with ancient traditions.
What kind of character do the Tatars really have? People who are closely acquainted with these people note that their main qualities are perseverance and hard work. Tatar families always have many children. An interesting fact is that they believe that a sick woman can recover when she gives birth to another baby. Family is the most important thing for a Tatar; he treats his half with reverence. There are quite few divorces among people of this nationality. They also live very friendly, always support each other, which is a rarity for Western peoples today.
Despite the fact that the character of the Tatars as a whole includes such qualities as honesty and kindness, there are traitors, scoundrels, and cowards among them. As they say, there are black sheep everywhere. The struggle for survival in conditions of nomadic life gave rise to a certain envy, ambition, and cunning in the hearts of the representatives of this people. Tatars are quite prudent, have a bright and quick mind, but also hot heads. However, they always think carefully before saying anything out of anger. Since ancient times, the Tatars have been engaged in trade affairs, so they are still doing well in this business today. And trade itself requires chastity, resourcefulness and cunning from a person. The interesting thing is that they were not serfs. They lived according to their own rules and laws, and the landowners did not exist at the expense of the labor of ordinary peasants.
The character of the Tatars is special, as is their worldview, philosophy, culture and language. But there is another distinctive feature of the people - the national cuisine, about which there are legends. Simple, nutritious, healthy food personifies the hospitality of the Tatar people. The traveler was always offered hot dishes - meat, dairy and lean. As a rule, hot food with flour dressing is always present on the table. There are festive and ritual dishes, for example, dumplings and broth, chicken stuffed with eggs. Pilaf with boiled meat and amazing and varied pastries are considered almost classics. Bread is considered sacred.
Despite the fact that the people profess Islam, male Tatars have a rather friendly character. In principle, a Tatar has almost the same qualities that are characteristic of a Russian person, so girls should not be afraid if their chosen one belongs to this ethnic group.
