A native of Kazan, Chulpan Khamatova was born on October 1, 1975 in a family of engineers. The actress has studied at a mathematical school and entered the Kazan Financial and Economic Institute. According to Khamatova herself, she did not study there for a day.

“I could not immediately pick up the documents, because I had no guarantees that I would enter this theater school and, in general, whether they were waiting for me there and how they would react. Therefore, when I began to understand that they would take me and that they would accept me, I sent my mother and she took my documents from the financial academy, ”said the actress.

Now it is difficult to imagine that teachers could doubt the abilities of Chulpan Khamatova. The theater school was followed by GITIS, and then roles in theater and cinema. Many viewers discovered her after the role of Rita in Valery Todorovsky's film "Country of the Deaf".

In 2006, Khamatova and actress Dina Korzun, who also played in the Country of the Deaf, co-founded the Gift of Life charity foundation. It helps children suffering from oncological and oncohematological diseases. Last year alone, the foundation donated about 2.24 billion rubles for medicines, medical equipment and treatment for Russian children. Khamatova herself has three daughters.

A year ago, the actress was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Kazan". Khamatova arrived at the award ceremony at the Kazan City Hall and received an award from Mayor Ilsur Metshin.

Now the actress is busy filming a film based on the novel by another native of Kazan, Guzel Yakhina, Zuleikha opens her eyes. The writer admitted that she represented Chulpan Khamatova in the title role.

“The image of Chulpan was with me. And when the text was created and when the script was discussed at the film school, finalized, then written. And I have only one answer - I see Chulpan Khamatova in the title role, ”said Guzel Yakhina.

Especially for filming The village of Semruk was built on the banks of the Kama. Khamatova is already posting photos from the filming on social networks, most of which will take place in the Laishevsky district of Tatarstan.

Shamil Khamatov

10 years after the birth of Chulpan, a boy, Shamil, was born in the family of Nail Akhmetovich and Marina Galiullovna Khamatov. Much less is known about his childhood than about the life of his older sister in Kazan. In her footsteps, he went to GITIS, which he graduated in 2005. Immediately after that, Shamil Khamatov was accepted into the troupe of the Sovremennik Theater, where his older sister has been working since 1998. The role of Sevka Goryaev in the play "The Naked Pioneer" based on the novel by Mikhail Kononov was the actor's debut on this stage.

The actor became an honored guest of the IX Kazan International Muslim Film Festival in 2013. Then he then admitted: work in the theater brings him more pleasure than filming a movie.

“Each performance is always different, allowing you to discover yourself in a new way. The play is a living organism. This is a constant search, constant development, a constant process of reflection. In the cinema, everything is simpler: there are no rehearsals, you need to come, turn to the camera in the right direction, pronounce the text. And that's where it often ends. In addition, there are a lot of technical moments in the cinema, which I don’t like, since the person himself is not very organized, ”the actor said.

Three years later, he returned to his native city with the first tour of the Sovremennik Theater for Kazan. In the year of its 60th anniversary, the team presented the performances "Three Comrades", where Khamatov plays Robert Lokamp, ​​as well as "The Cherry Orchard", "Two on a Swing" and "Woe from Wit".

Despite the fact that the theater is closer to Khamatov, he also acts in films. For example, in the 2013 family film The Toy Seller, the actor worked on the same set with Pierre Richard. During his visit to Kazan, he told how the shooting of a good Russian-French film went on and about his relationship with Richard.

“Pierre Richard is an amazing person, the level of his professionalism is amazing. He behaves very modestly, does not require undue attention. He always listens first to what the director says to him, and then carefully begins to make his suggestions. During rehearsals, he improvises so talentedly that the director includes these improvisations in the script without any doubt, ”recalls Khamatov.

According to Shamil, he did not manage to communicate with the famous actor on the set, since he does not know French, and Richard does not speak English.

Shamil Khamatov often posts family pictures on his Instagram. For example, he recently posted photos with his older sister Chulpan and her daughter Iya. All of them are captured against the backdrop of autumn landscapes.

Rinal Mukhametov

One of the main roles in the sensational Russian film "Temporary difficulties" was played by a native of the Tatarstan village of Alekseevskoye Rinal Mukhametov. He studied at the Kazan Theater School and thought he would be a pop clown. But in the second year, teachers advised Rinal to go to Moscow, since Kirill Serebrennikov was gaining a course at the Moscow Art Theater School. The actor recalls that he was afraid to go, because he has been suffering from stuttering since childhood.

“The fact is that on stage or in the frame I stutter less. I can not explain this phenomenon and, unfortunately, it does not always work. At the audition, I turned away, snapped my fingers - and my speech changed, I read without hesitation, ”says Mukhametov.

As a result, he got on the course, from which in 2012 Kirill Serebrennikov created the Seventh Studio theater troupe. Now Rinal Mukhametov serves at the Gogol Center.

The media have repeatedly called Mukhametov the new sex symbol of Russian cinema, and he only confirms this status with his roles in theater and cinema. For example, in the film adaptation of "The Three Musketeers" by Sergei Zhigunov, he played d'Artagnan, and in the serial historical film "Catherine" - the lover of the future empress. Rinal became a real star after the release of Fyodor Bondarchuk's blockbuster "Attraction" in 2017. Mukhametov played one of the main roles - the alien Hakon, who is trying to understand people.

The heart of this handsome man with a magnetic look is already taken. Rinal is happy in his second marriage with his wife Susanna and is raising their daughter Evia. The actor lives in Moscow, and his relatives remained in Tatarstan.

“I grew up in the working settlement of Alekseevskoye, which is located 100 km from Kazan. People close to me still live and work there. Mom is an accountant at the company. There is a younger sister Angelina, she is 25 years old. She recently moved to Kazan. Alas, it is not often possible to visit places familiar from childhood, but I do not forget my village. Every second inhabitant of Alekseevsky is a relative for me. I know that the neighbors are following my work, and this is a huge support, ”admits Rinal.

Behind this guy are three professional schools - the Kazan Theater School, GITIS and the Academy of Cinematographic and Theater Arts Nikita Mikhalkov. By the way, he became the first student of the academy from Tatarstan.

“I entered the theater school the first time, GITIS - the third attempt, and auditioned for Moscow theaters for seven years! But all this time I believed that I would be an actor, ”admits Sergey.

After the theater school, he worked for four years in the troupe of the Tver Youth Theater, where he played in the play "Tartuffe" by Moliere, in the production of "The Kabbalah of the Saints" by Bulgakov and in the fairy tale "About Ivan the Fool." Bataev calls this theater the most lively theater in the Upper Volga region, ready for experiments, and admits that he was happy to play there, but he wanted to develop and left for Moscow. There he entered GITIS, and then - the Mikhalkov Academy.

This year, the name of Bataev sounded in a new way. At the XIV Kazan International Muslim Film Festival, Sergey presented his debut short film "The Old Warrior". The main role in it was played by the People's Artist of the USSR Vladimir Etush.

The plot of the film "The Old Warrior" is dedicated to a weak old man who is eager to go to war in order to bring the day of victory closer. But her attempts to escape only interfere with her daughter, who is forced to bear all the hardships of village life alone. After another such attempt, she locks her father at home, where he quietly dies, without waiting for the main message.

The filmed story is a tribute to the memory of the great-grandfather of Sergei Bataev, who did not live to see the victory for several hours. The actor and director were named after him.

“My great-grandfather kept repeating that the main thing for him in life was to live to win ... but this was not destined to come true. And I always felt some kind of duty to him, which I have now fulfilled, ”said Sergey.

Now Bataev continues to play in the theater. The other day, he posted a photo on Instagram with the caption: “The theater season was opened with the performance “Clinical Case” together with @artpartner_theatre. Let my theatrical season be as bright, cheerful and filled with surprises of the desired roles.”

Rosa Khairullina

The tragic actress Roza Khairullina, by her own admission, became in demand at the age of 37. She was born in Norilsk, but from the age of 12 she lived in Zelenodolsk.

Even in elementary school, Rosa thought about the career of an actress and was constantly involved in drama circles. After leaving school, she entered the Kazan Theater School and, as a student, played on the stage of the Kamal Theater. For fifteen years Khairullina worked in the troupe of the Kazan Youth Theater. In 1992, the actress was awarded the State Prize of the Russian Federation for her role in the play "Pogrom" based on the novel by Boris Vasilyev "And there was evening, and there was morning ..." directed by Boris Zeitlin. In 1996, Shakespeare's production of The Tempest won the Golden Mask Award.

“I worked for fifteen years at the Kazan Youth Theater. There I had an apartment, relatives and friends. She lost everything in an instant: her brother was a drug addict, he mortgaged the apartment, then he died - the apartment went for debts. Within six months, my whole family, seven people, died. Father, mother and all the rest. Life was divided into “before” and “after”, I remained in the “before”,” the actress recalls about this difficult period of life.

After a fire at the Youth Theater in 1996, Khairullina left Kazan for Holland, where she worked for a year. Then she moved to Samara - got a job at the SamArt Theater. Rosa was moved to Moscow by the Russian theater director Konstantin Bogomolov, with whom they rehearsed Olesya at SamArt. Now Khairullina is the leading actress of the Oleg Tabakov Theater Studio and the Moscow Art Theater.

Since 2009, she has played several episodic roles in films, and her role in the film "The Horde" directed by Andrei Proshkin brought Khairullina recognition from colleagues and viewers. At the Moscow International Film Festival in 2012, she was recognized as the best actress for her role as the suddenly blind Khansha Taidula. For the same role in 2013, Khairullina received the national award of the Russian Academy of Cinematographic Arts "Nika".

Now the actress is filming a film based on the novel by Guzel Yakhina "Zuleikha opens her eyes." She will play Upyrikha, Zuleikha's mother-in-law. In addition, from September 27, the drama "Unforgiven" is released, where Khairullina, along with Dmitry Nagiyev, plays one of the main roles.

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 heroes. Tatars quickly ignite, quickly climb into a fight. They are arrogant, but at the same time passionate, and at times cunning, like foxes.

Memorial complex M.I. Tsvetaeva in Yelabuga

Several places in the city are associated with the name of Marina Ivanovna. Among them is the house where she lived her last days, combined into a memorial complex with the Portomoynya laundry washing museum, located in the building of the former laundry, where she went to collect spring water (it is known from the words of contemporaries of M.I. Tsvetaeva) and the grave at the Peter and Paul Elabuga cemetery with a monument.

Location: Malaya Pokrovskaya street - 20.

House-Museum of I.I. Shishkin at home in Yelabuga

It was in this house, where the museum is located, that the famous Russian artist I.I. Shishkin.

From this house, he went to study at the gymnasium in the city of Kazan, and then, without graduating from it, at the school of painting, sculpture and architecture in Moscow.

In the early 60s of the 20th century, a memorial museum of his works was created in his father's house in Yelabuga, where you can see an exposition of the artist's best paintings.

Being in the house, the guest feels the unique energy of the author. In the rooms-halls, the furniture of that time has been almost authentically restored. You definitely need to see the artist's studio. By visiting this museum, you will definitely receive an indescribable aesthetic pleasure.

In 1991, near the house-museum of the artist, a monument was erected to him, depicting I.I. Shishkin in full growth. The monument closes the Toyminskaya embankment leading to the Shishkinsky ponds of the city of Yelabuga.

A granite monument reflecting the inner world of the legendary man was installed opposite the hotel where V.S. Vysotsky.

The monument is a guitar turning into a bell. This is the work of local sculptor Vladimir Nesterenko, a passionate admirer of V.S. Vysotsky.

It turned out that this is one of the best monuments of the entire creative heritage of the national songwriter, the unsurpassed Hamlet of the 20th century, V.S. Vysotsky.

Location: intersection of Komsomolskaya embankment and Gidrostroiteley street.

The main attraction not only of the capital, but of the whole Tatarstan. It is on this territory that memorable places are combined, demonstrating the flavor of the two peoples (Russians and Tatars) and their cultural traditions.

The Tatars have a folk wisdom that says: "He who does not know the history of his ancestors does not feel the taste of life." It is safe to say that these words were spoken about the ancient settlement.

It is here that the spirit of the Tatar people is fully felt. This place was one of the first settlements of nomadic Tatars.

Now you can see sights that tell in detail about the life of the people from the day of its inception to our time.

The famous Russian artist of tragic fate and endless talent was from Tatarstan. Probably, this was the prerequisite for choosing a place for the opening of his museum-gallery.

Collected in the art gallery over 400 works by the artist made by him in different styles.

The positive energy reigning here fills anyone who decides to look at the paintings from the very entrance to the museum. Time seems to slow down here. The coloring of the canvases very clearly conveys the mood and thoughts of the author.

It is surprising that even after the death of Konstantin Vasilyev, his works radiate warmth and life. The core of the collection was made up of personal collections of the artist's relatives, friends and colleagues.

In any city there is a place where newlyweds leave symbolic keys or locks from their hearts. There is a similar place in quiet Almetyevsk.

Newlyweds of the city perform this tradition at the beginning of the cascade of ponds located in the city center. The history of this eye-catching place begins from the moment when an initiative group, consisting of employees of an oil company, decided to improve the wetlands of the city.

The first ponds were landscaped in 2003. In parallel with the work on the ponds, a recreation area for the townspeople was formed.

Today here you can see a large cascade of ponds along the banks, which are located bridges, bike paths, benches and so on.

The main mosque of Tatarstan and the city of Kazan is considered one of the largest. It was built according to a special project "revival of the mosque". It can accommodate more than one and a half thousand people. About ten thousand people are accommodated in the square in front of it.

The Bugulma theater dates back to the end of the 18th century. For the first three decades, it was an amateur theater or circle.

During the war years, it was led by N.A. Olshevskaya (mother of A.V. Batalov). It was here that Alexey Vladimirovich began his artistic career, while still a teenager. Subsequently, the theater was named after A.V. Batalova.

Every nation has the right to be proud of the most famous representatives of its nation, and In this regard, the Tatars are no exception! We know, remember and respect famous representatives of the Tatar people!

This article is only the beginning of a long story on our website, and it should be emphasized that many famous people belong not only to Tatar history, but also to the history of Russia, the USSR, Mari El, Bashkortostan and other regions of our vast country.
For the same reason, many of the named personalities are controversial, such as, for example, Mamich Berdey, Kuzma Minin or Alexander Matrosov, because they were recognized by other nationalities, so we ask you not to be offended by Russians, Maris, Mordovians, Bashkirs - if representatives of their nationalities, because we have one country!

the most famous Tatars

Separately, the article provides data on those figures who descended from Tatars by father or mother, or have a distant Tatar origin, despite Russian names and surnames!
There are articles on the Internet about what he himself President Putin - has Tatar roots, allegedly on the maternal side, and this is proved by the structure of his face, the style of government and other points. In particular, Putin often comes to Tatarstan, and especially loves the Sabantuy holiday (by the way, in a skullcap - he is a real Tatar!). The recent return of Crimea to Russia is a process of restoration of the Turkic peoples within the former Russian Empire!
We won’t talk about the President’s connections with the famous Tatar athlete…
Separately, we note that it is under Putin that Tatarstan is developing more dynamically than its neighbors along the Volga and the Urals! In the media, we note separately, there are even several articles on the topic “why Putin loves the Tatars”!

Venera Gimadieva (born May 28, 1984, Kazan) - soloist of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater Russia, laureate of the N. Rimsky-Korsakov International Competition (St. Petersburg, 2008), diploma winner of the International Opera Singers Competition (Dresden, 2009), winner of the 1st prize at the International Chaliapin Competition “Voices over the Reach” (2010), laureate of the Prize of the President of the Russian Federation for young cultural figures in 2011.

From the history of Russia, according to genealogical records, many noble families had Tatar roots. Somehow it doesn’t fit in my head that the Tatars, who plundered Russia for more than 2 centuries, were quite calmly accepted by the Boyars of Russia into their ranks without any restrictions on their rights. Moreover, the descendants of these families were considered Russian, and many were close associates of the Russian tsars.
Famous Russians come from Tatar families!

Many famous noble families of Russia have Tatar roots.
Apraksins, Arakcheevs, Dashkovs, Derzhavins, Yermolovs, Sheremetevs, Bulgakovs, Gogols, Golitsyns, Milyukovs, Godunovs, Kochubeys, Stroganovs, Bunins, Kurakins, Saltykovs, Saburovs, Mansurovs, Tarbeevs, Godunovs, Yusupovs - not to list them all.
By the way, the origin of the Counts Sheremetevs, in addition to the surname, is also confirmed by the family coat of arms, on which there is a silver crescent.
The nobles Ermolovs, for example, where General Alexei Petrovich Ermolov came from, the pedigree begins like this: "The ancestor of this family Arslan-Murza-Yermola, and by baptism named John, as shown in the presented pedigree, in 1506 went to Grand Duke Vasily Ivanovich from the Golden Horde ."
The princes Kurakins appeared in Russia under Ivan III, this family comes from Ondrey Kurak, who was the offspring of the Horde Khan Bulgak, the recognized ancestor of the Great Russian princes Kurakins and Golitsyns, as well as the noble family of Bulgakovs. Chancellor Alexander Gorchakov, whose family was descended from the Tatar ambassador Karach-Murza. The nobles of the Dashkovs are also from the Horde.
And the Saburovs, Mansurovs, Tarbeevs, Godunovs (from Murza Chet, who left the Horde in 1330), Glinskys (from Mamai), Kolokoltsevs, Talyzins (from Murza Kuchuk Tagaldyzin) ... A separate conversation is desirable about each clan - a lot, a lot they did for Russia.
Every Russian patriot has heard about Admiral Ushakov, and only a few know that he is a Turk. This clan comes from the Horde Khan Redeg.
The princes of Cherkasy are descended from the khan's family of Inal. “As a sign of allegiance,” it is written in their genealogy, “he sent his son Saltman and daughter Princess Maria to the sovereign, who later was married to Tsar John Vasilyevich, and Saltman was named Mikhail by baptism and was granted a boyar.”

Among the Russian nobility there are more than 120 famous Tatar families. In the sixteenth century, Tatars dominated among the nobles. Even by the end of the nineteenth century in Russia, there were approximately 70 thousand nobles with Tatar roots. This amounted to more than 5 percent of the total number of nobles throughout the Russian Empire.
The Yushkovs, Suvorovs, Apraksins (from Salakhmir), Davydovs, Yusupovs, Arakcheevs, Golenishchev-Kutuzovs, Bibikovs, Chirikovs... The Chirikovs, for example, came from the clan of Khan Berke, brother of Batu. Polivanovs, Kochubeys, Kozakovs...
Kopylovs, Aksakovs (aksak means "lame"), Musins-Pushkins, Ogarkovs (the first from the Golden Horde came in 1397, Lev Ogar, "a man of great stature and a brave warrior"). The Baranovs... In their pedigree it is written as follows: "The ancestor of the Baranov family, Murza Zhdan, nicknamed Baran, and named Daniel by baptism, came in 1430 from the Crimea."

Karaulovs, Ogarevs, Akhmatovs, Bakaevs, Gogol, Berdyaevs, Turgenevs ...

Climbing up to the attic, through the dormer window they made their way to the roof above the western (front) pediment of the building. They installed a banner in the hole in the crown of the sculpture of the Goddess of Victory.
M. P. Minin recalled:
“Giya Zagitov ran ahead, who prudently took a flashlight with him. It was with them that he illuminated the path along the dilapidated stairs. We threw grenades at all the corridors leading to it and combed it with automatic bursts ...
In front of the attic, I stocked up on the go with a “pole”, tearing a one and a half meter thin-walled tube from the wall.

Having reached the spacious attic, we were faced with the problem of how to get to the roof. And G. Zagitov helped out again by highlighting the cargo winch and two massive chains going somewhere upstairs with a flashlight. Using the links of this chain, through the dormer window, we climbed onto the roof above the western pediment of the building. And here at the tower, barely visible in the darkness, Zagitov and I began to attach the Red Banner. Suddenly, against the backdrop of a fiery glow from a shell exploding on the roof, Lisimenko noticed our daily landmark - a sculptural group: a bronze horse and a huge figure of a woman in a crown. We immediately decided that it would be better to set up a banner there.
The guys put me on the croup of a horse shuddering from the explosions of shells and mines, and I fixed the banner in the crown of a bronze giantess ...
Timed out. It was 10:40 p.m. local time."

For example, when Sabir Akhtyamov, Hero of the Soviet Union, tank destroyer, with his height of 164 cm, the commander decided to remove him from the parade, the hero was indignant:
“How to climb under tanks, so good, but how to go to the parade - so small in stature ?!”
