Rinat Zakirov told about the importance of the All-Russian business gatherings for the Tatar people, “Modern reality, the economic situation in the world – it is a serious test for the prosperity of the Tatar villages. Tatars, who founded their business, farm in a village, is that kind of support, in whose hands the fate of villages is kept. Many entrepreneurs and business executives seek to help and are helping, they build kindergartens, schools, madrassas and mosques, create jobs, thereby basing perspective to their fellow villagers. Entrepreneurial activity at the Tatar villages reduces relocation of youth to take up permanent residence in the city. And this is the most important argument for the prosperity of the Tatar villages. “
