The Tatar National Movement is a political and cultural movement aimed at promoting the rights and identity of the Tatar people, an ethnic group primarily found in Russia. It emerged in the late 19th century, focusing on issues such as language preservation, cultural heritage, and political representation. The movement gained momentum after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, leading to increased demands for autonomy and recognition of Tatarstan as a republic within the Russian Federation. Today, it continues to advocate for the rights of Tatars and the preservation of their unique cultural identity.
