Flight to Ufa

It took almost a lifetime before we saw a flight to Ufa, Bashkortstan on an airport flight board.
We were looking for flights to Kazan, to no avail.  This was taken in Istanbul in December 2013.
We are hoping in the future that there will be more direct flights from other major hubs, directly to Kazan and Ufa both.

Tatarlar - Isemebez hem Cisemebez

This was the single Tatar book along with us to Turkey.

We posted this a few months back, but it is now digitized and .pdf'd. here 

It concerns the name "Tatar", it's origin and asks many questions.  Why are there so many different people referred to as Tatars?  What is the true origin of the people of Tatarstan?

"Don't Leave, Nightengale. 

You're departing. I remain."

If this song is sung well and he sings it well, it just rips your heart out.
