Introduction
Ethno-cultural development of the Republic of Tatarstan cannot be separated from the development of national culture of the entire Tatar people.The specificity of the development of the Tatar people caused such of its specifics, as territorial dispersion.Of 7 million Tatars, over 5 million live outside of Tatarstan, in different regions of the Russian Federation, in countries of the CIS and far abroad, i.e. cut off from their roots, from the national culture.Increasing globalization in conditions of the formation of informational society causes even greater strengthening of the processes of cultural assimilation of Tatars both in Russia and around the world, national identity of the Tatars and their ancient traditions are lost.The threat of the loss by the Tatar people of the native language and ethnic culture detects a highly relevant and a major problem of preservation, development and wide dissemination of the Tatar language, literature and culture.
A considerable number of problems, associated with the spread of the Tatar language, literature and culture, especially among residents of other nationalities, present in the Republic of Tatarstan.The complex of measures, implemented in this sphere does not give the desired result and many people in the country, including the indigenous Tatars, almost do not speak the Tatar language and only superficially familiar with the Tatar national traditions and cultural monuments.
On the territory of the Russian Federation the Tatars live compactly in Samara, Ulyanovsk, Chelyabinsk and Moscow regions, in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Udmurtia, etc.In these regions, the centers of studying of the Tatar language and regional cultural-educational societies, Sunday schools, nationalcultural autonomy, groups and clubs function.They often have not enough or weak relationship among themselves, their mutual activities is lack of coherence and consistency.The integration of the efforts of all those native speakers of the Tatar language, literature and culture is extremely important.There is a need for a single coordinating and organizing center, accumulating all the existing resources in this sphere.
The largest Tatar Diasporas abroad are concentrated in such countries as Turkey, Finland, Australia, China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, etc.The problems of the compatriots in the near abroad are in the fact, that the number of the new states, formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, are developing as the nationstates which provide the privileged position for the titular nations.As a result, socio-political and ethnic tension in these countries is increasing.In far-away foreign countries the national-ethnic processes do not reach such a severity, however there also exists a threat of cultural assimilation of Tatars.In supporting the aspirations of the Tatars living abroad to preserve their national and cultural identity, the leading role remains with the Republic of Tatarstan, where the abovementioned united coordinating and organizing center may act as the basic institution of the implementation of transformational-cultural support of compatriots.
As world experience shows, many countries have established special centers, which are named in honor of the national enlighteners, writers, scientists (Goethe Institute, Confucius Institute, Institute of Cervantes, Institute of Yunus Emre) and their goal is the glorification of the language and culture of the people, as the preservation of native language and its active promotion is a necessity for any selfrespecting ethnic group.
