About this book
A History of Tatarstan: The Russian Yoke and the Vanishing Tatars surveys the history of the Tatar people living along the Volga river. It argues that the Volga Tatars were Russia's first colonized people and after their subjugation in 1552, the Tatars have been continually mistreated by their Russian rulers, even when the nature of the Russian regime changed over time. For a long period the Tatars managed to evade overly deep Russian intrusion into their lives, after the middle of the 1850s Russian and Soviet authorities obliterated their traditional way of life. Despite efforts at restoring a measure of Tatar independence in the 1990s, russification has led to a marked fall in those identifying as Tatar in the Russian Federation pointing at the possibility of a disappearance altogether of the Volga Tatars.
