In 2017, the russian government banned the compulsory study of national languages, including Tatar. The study of national languages ​​became an optional lesson. In fact, the study of national languages ​​is not carried out, even if the student studies it as optional.

In 2022, the russian authorities canceled a number of Tatarstan's preferences and amended its Constitution, which limited his rights.

The policy of infringement of the national republics and the rights of its peoples has been carried out since 2002.
