The idea of popularization of the historical and cultural heritage of the peoples living on the territory of Tatarstan has been formed for several years. Thanks to the extensive celebrations of the 1100th anniversary of the adoption of Islam by the Volga Bulgaria, this idea was realized by the common efforts of a large team of representatives of science, culture and art.

The different directions of the project are united by the idea of respect for different cultures connected by common origin, language or territory of residence. The project is intended not only to tell about scientific discoveries in a simple way, but also to contribute to even greater rapprochement of peoples through knowledge and understanding of historical and cultural heritage.
