Kukten Ingen Delil - two months later...

I just received this Tatar book from Russia.   I ordered it through E-Bay and it took TWO MONTHS to arrive.  The merchant I was dealing with was very polite and I believe an honest guy.  I asked him how he could stay in business when shipping in Russia is so poor.  He blamed the shipping on a restructuring of the postal service.   Still I am happy and very fortunate to be owner of the only copy of this book in North America!   It is of detective stories.

Tatars Love Monuments

 

Tatar living within Tatarstan have likely seen tremendous monuments of their heritage, Soyembike tower, the ruins of Bulghar, or more likely Monumental Soviet relics, soldiers and workers, meant to inspire and honour their sacrifice. 

  

So when are we going to see a mountainside with Gabdullah Tukay?  Musa Jalil? Mardzhani? ...

Turkish Protests in San Francisco

Friends send me photos here and there of items relating to Turkic peoples.  This is from last week.  With all of the protests going on in Taksim Square in Istanbul, a group formed in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza to protest the tear gassing of protesters.
