This collection presents the transcript of the academic conference “The 1992 Referendum on the Status of Tatarstan,” held on March 21, 2026, and organized by the League of Free Nations together with the Council of Tatars of the World.
The conference was dedicated to the anniversary of the referendum on the state status of the Republic of Tatarstan, held on March 21, 1992. This event became an important milestone in the history of the Tatar people and had a major impact on the political and public life of the post-Soviet region.
It remains a subject of academic discussion, analysis, and reflection in the context of self-determination, federalism, and national identity.
The conference brought together politicians, historians, legal experts, public figures, and independent experts from different countries.
The presented reports examine the historical background of the referendum, its legal and political consequences, and its impact on the current situation of Tatarstan and the Tatar diaspora.
Special attention is given to relations between Tatarstan and the federal authorities, as well as to the preservation of the national culture, language, and political agency of the Tatar people.
The organizers sincerely thank all participants, speakers, and authors for their contribution to the preparation and organization of the conference.
We hope that this collection will become an important step in understanding this historical experience, strengthening national awareness, and developing academic dialogue about the future of the Tatar people and other nations seeking to preserve their identity and sovereignty.
