The works of Tatar artists are distinguished by their beauty and grace, and Tatar cuisine is amazingly tasty and healthy. Among the Tatars you can meet many interesting, creative and talented personalities. Today we will talk about such people and their contribution to world culture.

He created his songs under the influence of domestic bards: Bulat Okudzhava, Vladimir Vysotsky, Alexander Galich, as well as poets of the Silver Age, in particular Osip Mandelstam. Yuri Shevchuk's compositions are distinguished by their spiritual comprehension, the call for moral development, the rejection of despotism and violence.
Shevchuk takes part in various directions social activities. In particular, he opposes the demolition of historical buildings in St. Petersburg and collects information about architectural monuments lost in recent years.
One of the most famous representatives of the Tatar people is a singer and TV presenter
Alsou
The singer began her creative way at the age of 15. It was at that time that her first two singles called "Winter Dream" and "Sometimes" were released. In 2000, Alsou represented Russia at Eurovision, where she performed her famous song Solo. Now Alsou has a lot of albums, a number of compositions in his native Tatar language and a lot of clips.

Then he entered the Leningrad Choreographic School and after graduation he became a soloist of the Mariinsky Theatre. In 1961 he went to Paris on tour and decided to stay abroad forever.
Nuriev worked at the Royal Theater "Covent Garden" in London. The whole world quickly learned about him. For many years the dancer was a constant partner of the famous English ballerina Margo Fontaine.

Elmira Abdrazakova
A student from the city of Mezhdurechensk, who became the winner of the Miss Russia 2013 contest. Now the whole world knows and speaks about this very young girl!
Of course, we have before us only the shortest list of Tatars who have made a significant contribution to domestic and world culture. All these people respected and honored national traditions. There can be no tree without roots. And for everyone to have a wonderful future, you need to know the past. I would like representatives of each nation to know and love the culture of their ancestors, respect their achievements and honor traditions. And for those who love and respect the Tatar culture, there are many sites in Runet. On one of them: shubino-video.ru-Tatar films, online performances and friendly traditions of one of their Tatar settlements.

On the eve of the anniversary of Tatarstan, BUSINESS Online compiled a short list of those who today personify the nation in the life of the country
The 25th 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", having interviewed experts, 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. Anyone can add it in the comments.
It makes no sense to explain the presence on the list of such figures as the acting president of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and the first president of the republic, state adviser of the Republic of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev
POLITICS AND PUBLIC OFFICERS
Razil Valeev
Farit Gazizullin
Mahmut Gareev
Rustam Minnikhanov
Elvira Nabiullina
Hindu Tagirov
Rafael Khakimov
Marat Khusnullin
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.
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 of 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 permanent Minister of Property Relations of the Russian Federation, has reached high federal posts. 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 prime ministers for an unimaginably long time - until 2004. Gazizullin always maintained good relations with Tatarstan, although his departure for Moscow was once seen as the hand of the Kazan Kremlin, which allegedly eliminated 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, clearly proud of the fact, for example, that he managed to stop the negative trend in the transport situation ... However, Muscovites perceive the work of a prominent Tatar builder in the Russian capital ambiguously. 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 Sergei Yesenin read poetry for the first time ... One way or another, Khusnullin does not lose ties with his homeland, he also participates in the life of the Tatars of Moscow invariably visits the 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, 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 naturally got into our Top 50 . 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 "Gyen" - public association for conservation and development 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 the 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 of Tatarstan is 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 the 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 Russian Federation. He is the organizer and participant of many scientific conferences on problems of federalism in Russia. Of great importance for Tatarstan were his scientific studies of the features of the development of reformed Islam - Jadidism. Rafael Sibgatovich is one of the leading bloggers of BUSINESS Online, some of his publications can be viewed at the links here.
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 Communications and Mass Media of Russia, Nikolai Nikiforov, insisting that he was a baptized Tatar, but here we decided to wait until he himself admits ...

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 famous Russian entrepreneur-Tatar 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 Talgat Abdullin, director of the GZHF. 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, Muslima Latypova is included in the Top 50 - CEO 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. 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 the 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.

Our Top 50 experts included the father of the famous pop singer Alsou, 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.

Rustam Tariko, a native of Menzelinsk, a well-known Russian businessman, the "vodka king", the owner of the Russian Standard holding, and the chairman of the board of directors of CJSC Russian Standard Bank, is also included in our rating. His fortune reached its peak by 2011, when, according to Forbes magazine, it amounted to $ 1.9 billion. With this result, he took 51st place in the list of the 200 richest businessmen in Russia. 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.
Rustam Tariko does not break ties with Tatarstan: “I love my native republic very much,” a well-known businessman admits
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.
TAIF by Albert Shigabutdinov is a powerful budget-forming enterprise of Tatarstan
In addition to those entrepreneurs who were in our Top 50, the experts named, for example, Nurulla Sattarov, the president of the oil company EvroSibOil LLC, the chairman of the world association for the assistance of Tatar entrepreneurs, a member of the presidium of the executive committee of the World Congress of Tatars, an active supporter of the development of sports. The name of Ferid Ayupov, the founder of the Sember holding (Ulyanovsk), was also mentioned, especially since at various times he headed the Tatar national-cultural autonomy, public association Tatar businessmen "Sember", is the president of the charitable foundation of the same name. There was a proposal to include in the Top 50 Tamir Alimbaev, President of Yenisei Corporation LLC (Omsk), one of the largest employers and suppliers of spare parts for tractors, combines, agricultural machinery and trucks beyond the Urals ... 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 ...

Rashid Sunyaev
Talgat Tadzhutdin
Roald Sagdeev - one of the founders of modern plasma physics, as well as the author of scientific papers on the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion, space physics
Like Mont Blanc, our Top 50 is dominated by world-famous academics. This is the famous Soviet and American physicist Roald Sagdeev, who today, although he lives in the United States, is connected with Russia by many invisible, but very strong threads. Roald Zinnurovich - Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences, Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of the Lenin Prize. He is one of the founders of modern plasma physics, as well as the author of scientific papers on the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion, space physics. Founder of the world famous physics school. Roald Zinnurovich visited Kazan more than once, celebrated his 80th birthday here. And he told, by the way, about an anonymous letter that came back in the days of the USSR to the department of letters of workers of the Central Committee of the CPSU - it was cheerfully read to Sagdeev at that time by the president of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Anatoly Alexandrov. “I remember the beginning,” said Roald Zinnurovich. “Now, when the entire Soviet people is proudly celebrating the 500th anniversary of the victory on the Kulikovo field, the Tatar Khan is flourishing in Moscow ...”
Rashid Sunyaev is a scientist for whom the distance to the nearest stars is “very small - just a few parsecs”
Of course, our Top 50 also includes Rashid Sunyaev, another world star of science, a famous Soviet and Russian astrophysicist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan. The golden list of his merits goes on and on. He, in collaboration with the theoretical physicist Yakov Zel'dovich, created a theory known as the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. According to it, relic radiation in space is gradually dissipated under the influence of electrons. The academician studied the mysteries of black holes, participated in the studies of the early Universe, led the team that carried out observations on the Kvant module on the Mir orbital station. At the Institute of Astrophysics of the Society. Max Planck works in the field of theoretical high-energy astrophysics and physical cosmology, participates in the interpretation of data from the Planck spacecraft of the European Space Agency (ESA). Academician Sunyaev is a scientist for whom the distance to the nearest stars is "very small - only a few parsecs." When Rashid Alievich came to Kazan in 2013 with a stunningly interesting lecture on dark energy, he recalled an episode that took place at a reception at the Pope of Rome: “We were told that the Pope speaks any language, and everyone can speak his own language with him. I whispered to Sagdeev: “Maybe I should say a few words to the Pope in Tatar?” ...
Albert Galeev laureate of the Lenin Prize. But the scientist also has a dozen other awards, including Russian ones.
Among the famous scientists is also a Soviet and Russian physicist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, honorary director of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, member of the Academy of Cosmonautics. Tsiolkovsky Albert Galeev. His scientific activity is connected with plasma physics and space physics. The fact that he is a laureate of the Lenin Prize speaks volumes. But the scientist has a dozen other awards, including Russian ones.
A cardiac surgeon, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, honorary academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan Renat Akchurin works in a completely different area, but he is also world famous. Renat Suleymanovich developed unique directions in reconstructive, vascular and cardiac surgery. Academician Akchurin is a co-author of the first operations in the country on replantation of fingers, transplantation of toes on the hand, complex plastic surgery on the restoration of a fingerless hand. The scientist is the author of more than 300 scientific publications, is the initiator and one of the main developers of the federal program "Medicine high technology". Akchurin was especially famous for the coronary bypass operation of the heart of Russian President Boris Yeltsin, made in November 1996, after the presidential elections in Russia.
Renat Akchurin developed unique directions in reconstructive, vascular and cardiac surgery
The academician has visited our republic more than once. For example, a year and a half ago, at the site of the Chamber of Commerce, I participated in a discussion of the difficult problem of the production of medical instruments in Russia. There is also a known case when a famous cardiac surgeon made a one-day “blitz voyage” to Kazan to evaluate the unique medical instruments for cardiac surgery produced at the Kazan Medical Instrument Plant.
Ernst Muldashev has published over 400 scientific papers and performs 600 - 800 eye surgeries every year
Ernst Muldashev, a Russian ophthalmologist surgeon, organizer and head of the eye microsurgery center in Ufa, also works in the field of medicine. His highest qualification is already evidenced by the fact that he is a member of the board of the Society of Ophthalmologists of Russia, an honorary consultant of the University of Louisville (USA), a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, a certified ophthalmologist of Mexico, a member of the International Academy of Sciences. Ernst Rifgatovich has published more than 400 scientific papers, and every year he performs 600 - 800 eye surgeries. He is also the inventor of the surgical biomaterial "alloplant", with the help of which it became possible to treat some diseases that were previously considered hopeless. It was Muldashev who restored vision in the case of an illness that was considered hopeless, to the well-known trainer Teresa Durova. However, Ernst Muldashev is not only an excellent surgeon, he is known as the author of a number of books and publications on esoteric topics, which he wrote after his expeditions to Tibet and Egypt.
Talgat Tadzhutdin, unexpectedly for everyone, handed over to the White Mosque of Bolgar the hair of the Prophet Muhammad, which had previously been kept in Bashkortostan
Another well-known Tatar, whom experts included in the Top 50, Talgat Tadzhutdin - Chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims, Supreme Mufti of Russia, Sheikh-ul-Islam. One of the most profoundly Islamic theologians in the country, although, of course, many consider his approaches controversial. A vivid 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. ( website: This is an innovation, since in Islam there is no worship of hair, the remains of people and objects).
Mirfatykh Zakiev - one of the oldest and most respected Tatar philologists of the republic, worked as a shepherd on a collective farm during the war years
Mirfatykh Zakiev is one of the oldest and most respected Tatar philologists of the republic, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, doctor of philological sciences, professor, head of the department of lexicology and dialectology of the IYALI. Ibragimova AS RT. And besides, he is also the Academician-Secretary of the Tatarstan branch of the International Turkic Academy, a member of the Turkish Linguistic Society, an honorary member of the Presidium of the International Center for Turkic Studies of the Eurasian National University. Gumilyov (Kazakhstan). From 1980 to 1990, he was in the top three leaders of the republic, served as chairman of the Supreme Council of the Tatar ASSR. By the way, in the war years of the 40s, as a village boy, he worked on a collective farm as a shepherd, then as a groom, a blacksmith. A magnificent example for today's youth: what can be achieved with intelligence and perseverance. Mirfatykh Zakievich conducted scientific research in the field of linguistics, the syntactic structure and history of the Tatar language, the problems of its development, the history of Tatar linguistics, the ethnogenesis of the Turks and Tatars ... He created scientific schools in the field of linguistic, interethnic and interlingual contacts, bilingualism and multilingualism. And today Academician Zakiev, despite his considerable age, continues scientific work. His colleagues admire how active he is. Maybe because he does yoga and even stands on his head, assuring that this is stroke prevention, it helps blood vessels a lot ...
Thanks to the efforts of Kev Salikhov (pictured), one of the most prestigious awards in the world for physicists has become the international award named after Kazan scientist Evgeny Zavoisky
Director of the Kazan Institute of Physics and Technology, KSC RAS, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Kev Salikhov is a world-famous scientist. His merits in science were awarded the Lenin Prize, the State Prize of the Republic of Tatarstan, the title of "Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation." Kev Minullinovich did a lot to make Kazan known not only for sports achievements, so that citizens of different countries would remember the revolution in physics, which was staged in 1944 by Kazan scientist Yevgeny Zavoisky. Thanks to the efforts of academician Salikhov, one of the most prestigious awards in the world for physicists, a kind of "Nobel Prize", has become an international prize named after this scientist.
Rafik Mukhametshin is distinguished by the widest erudition on the Tatar humanitarian issues
BUSINESS Online experts included in the Top 50 a well-known Islamic scholar, Dr. political science, professor, rector of the Russian Islamic University Rafik Mukhametshin. He is distinguished by the broadest erudition on the Tatar humanitarian issues. The range of his scientific interests is extensive: it is the history of Tatar social thought, Islamic studies, political processes in Russia and modern world. Professor Mukhametshin is the author of over a hundred scientific works, including monographs that have become fundamental: “Tatars and Islam in the 20th century”, “Islam in the social and political life of the Tatars and Tatarstan”. Rafik Mukhametshovich is a member of teams of authors in a number of international publications, a participant in international scientific conferences in Japan, the USA, Turkey, Germany, Great Britain, France, Iran, and Uzbekistan.
Orientalist-Arabist, philologist-polyglot, writer, international journalist, author of many reports from different countries of the world Farid Seiful-Mulyukov recalls: “My classmates often mocked my surname ... 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. His knowledge of the intricacies of the East is distinguished by his books The Birth of the Iraqi Republic, Iraq Yesterday and Today, Portuguese Colonies in Africa, Reports from the Line of Fire, as well as numerous articles and documentaries. 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 articles in our newspaper broke all records in terms of the number of reader comments. And this list can be continued.
CULTURAL WORKERS
Alfiya Avzalova
Farid Bikchantaev
Sofia Gubaidulina
Rkail Zaydullah
Zemfira
Salavat
Chulpan Khamatova
Rosa Khairullina
Albina Shagimuratova
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.
Tatar stage as a large-scale industry did not yet exist when Ilham Shakirov and Alfiya Avzalova began their careers
Of course, our rating is dominated by the “mastodons” of the Tatar stage, which has long turned into an independent and large-scale industry. She, of course, did not 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 well-known, 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.
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 - perhaps the most famous living woman in the world who composes music
The musical theme of our ten is completed by one of the greatest 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 - a center for contemporary music named after her operates 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 theater star of Galina Volchek's Sovremennik, and now she is increasingly working at Yevgeny Mironov's Theater of Nations. 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 in the Kazan Youth Theater, in 1992 she received the State Prize of the Russian Federation 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 the role of King Lear in one of the most discussed Russian performances of recent years - Konstantin Bogomolov's Lear at the Comedians' Shelter Theater in St. Petersburg. 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
The theme continues with the figure of Farid Bikchantaev, the 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 colossal 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
Zinetula Bilyaletdinov
Alisa Galliamova
Rinat Dasaev
Danis Zaripov
Irek Zinnurov
Alina Kabaeva
Gata Kamsky
Aliya Mustafina
Marat Safin
Shamil Tarpishchev
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 artistic gymnastics, but this makes Mustafina's gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the uneven bars exercise only more valuable, since we are talking about a sport where Russia is very far from hegemony.
Zinetula Bilyaletdinov found his coaching happiness in his 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, behind 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 national 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 has 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.
The name of Shamil Tarpishchev is associated with a surge in the results of Russian tennis players
Shamil Tarpischev, who is now in charge of the development program for 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.
Rinat Dasaev in our country is second only to Lev Yashin in his goalkeeping glory
Our sports top ten is completed by two representatives of team sports. Rinat Dasaev is the best football goalkeeper in the world in 1988, an 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 a large number of Tatars live, visited Kazan for an amateur futsal 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 held various positions in his native Synthesis and has been actively involved in the public life of the republic. And recently, the water polo legend 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.

23rd place: Charles Dennis Buchinsky(November 3, 1921, Ehrenfeld, USA - August 30, 2003), better known by his pseudonym (Eng. Charles Bronson) - American film actor, a popular performer of courageous roles in action films. The paternal ancestors of the actor were sticky (Polish-Lithuanian Tatars).

19th place: Timur Yunusov(born August 15, 1983, Moscow), better known as Timati- Russian rap / hip-hop / R'n'B artist, composer, music producer, actor and entrepreneur.
17th place: (born February 11, 1978, the village of Voronovo, Moscow Region) - Russian comedian and TV presenter. Participates in the TV project "Comedy Club".
16th place: - worldwide famous artist ballet, choreographer Born near Irkutsk on March 17, 1938, he began dancing in a children's folklore ensemble in Ufa, and in 1955 he entered the Leningrad Choreographic School. After graduating in 1958, Nureyev became the soloist of the ballet theater named after S. M. Kirov (currently the Mariinsky Theater). On June 16, 1961, while on tour in Paris, he refused to return to the USSR. For more than fifteen years, Nureyev was the star of the London Royal Ballet. From 1983 to 1989, Nureyev was the director of the ballet troupe of the Paris Grand Opera. Died January 6, 1993.
In his Autobiography, Rudolf Nureyev wrote about his Tatar roots: “My mother was born in the beautiful ancient city of Kazan. We are Muslims. My father was born in a small village near Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkiria. Thus, on both sides, our relatives are Tatars and Bashkirs. I can't define exactly what it means for me to be a Tatar and not a Russian, but I feel this difference in myself. Our Tatar blood flows somehow faster and is always ready to boil. And yet it seems to me that we are more sluggish than Russians, more sensual; we have a certain Asiatic softness and at the same time the ardor of our ancestors, these magnificent thin horsemen. We are a strange mixture of tenderness and rudeness, a combination that is rare among Russians; this is probably why I found such closeness with many of Dostoevsky's characters. Tatars quickly ignite, quickly climb into a fight. They are arrogant, but at the same time passionate, and at times cunning, like foxes. Tatar is a good complex of animal traits - and this is what I am.

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, collected and alphabetized 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, whose voice, one way or another, is heeded by the federal government. For example, it is largely thanks to Gainutdin that in Moscow on September 23, before the Eid al-Adha holiday, it is planned to finally open (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 of 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 a permanent minister of property relations of the Russian Federation, has reached high federal posts. 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 prime ministers for an unimaginably long period - until 2004. Gazizullin always maintained good relations with Tatarstan, although his departure for Moscow was once seen as the hand of the Kazan Kremlin, which allegedly eliminated 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 perceive the work of a prominent Tatar builder in the Russian capital ambiguously. 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 Sergei 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, 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 naturally got into our Top 50 . 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 of Tatarstan is 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 the 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 the problems of federalism in Russia. Of great importance for Tatarstan were his scientific studies of the features of the development of reformed Islam - Jadidism. 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 ...

| 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.

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 such a 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, 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, the hallmark of 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.

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.

Another of the most famous entrepreneurs of Tatarstan is the general director of TAIF OJSC Albert Shigabutdinov.

It is TAIF that owns the TNV television and radio company, which is called upon to bring the Tatar culture to the world.

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.

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 of 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 suggested including Rimzil Valeev, an active public figure, a tireless journalist, and a longtime blogger of BUSINESS Online, in the rating. His articles in our newspaper broke all records in terms of the number of reader comments. And this list can be continued.

| 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.
| Tatar stage as a large-scale industry did not yet exist when Ilham Shakirov and Alfiya Avzalova began their careers |
Of course, our rating is dominated by the “mastodons” of the Tatar stage, which has long turned into an independent and large-scale industry. She, of course, did not 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 well-known, 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 dozen years. 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 BUSINESS Online experts called were other singers, for example, Alsu, 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 most famous living woman in the world who composes music |
The musical theme of our ten is completed by one of the greatest 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 theater 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 in the Kazan Youth Theater, in 1992 she received the State Prize of the Russian Federation 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 the role of King Lear in one of the most discussed Russian performances of recent years - Lear by Konstantin Bogomolov at 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 colossal 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
|
| Olympic champion of Athens 2004 Alina Kabaeva was a State Duma deputy 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 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 the lot of 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 artistic gymnastics, but this makes Mustafina's gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the uneven bars exercise only more valuable, since we are talking about a sport where Russia is very far from hegemony.

| Zinetula Bilyaletdinov found his coaching happiness in his 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 has 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.
| The name of Shamil Tarpishchev is associated with a surge in the results of Russian tennis players |
Shamil Tarpischev, who is now in charge of the development program for 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.
| Rinat Dasaev in our country is second only to Lev Yashin in his goalkeeping glory |
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 a large number of Tatars live, visited Kazan for an amateur futsal 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 held various positions in his native Synthesis and has been actively involved in the public life of the republic. And recently, the water polo legend 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.
