A new course titled “The 20th century through personalities” has been launched on the “Açıq Universitet” platform. The course is presented by Aidar Shaikhin, the director of the Tatar Book House.

The 20th century is a relatively recent period, yet it remains a subject of deep study and analysis by historians. The statehood of the Republic of Tatarstan, modern Tatar culture and arts, and the overall identity of the nation are all closely linked to the achievements of the past century.

The individuals who defined this transformative century made a lasting impact on history through their contributions in various fields. Some have been forgotten, others have been mythologized, and a few have become enduring symbols of their time.

The “20th Century Through Personalities” course provides a unique perspective on Tatar history through the lives of these intellectuals. The lessons were developed in collaboration with the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Tatar Book House.
