And the reasons for pride in the outgoing year were not a few – new books were published, numerous holidays and concerts were held. Constant projects of the Congress of Tatars of the Chelyabinsk region – a contest of readers dedicated to Musa Jalil, “Tatarochka”, “Udaloj dzhigit” and “Little Pearls” – became even more interesting and even bigger. – Such holidays unite us. Adults and children got together. They participate in our holidays. We work together, and together we go forward, “says Valya Zagidullina, the head of the Zlatoust branch of the Tatar Congress of the Chelyabinsk region.
