After Russians, Volga Tatars are the second biggest ethnic group in Russia.<ref name=":5">{{cite web |date=24 March 2014 |title=Kazan Tatars See No Future for Themselves in Putin's Russia |url=http://www.interpretermag.com/kazan-tatars-see-no-future-for-themselves-in-putins-russia/ |publisher=The Interpreter}}</ref>
The long and multifaceted history between these two ethnic groups can be traced back to the times of [[Volga Bulgaria]] and the [[Golden Horde]]. Tatars have been a part of Russia since the 1500s. Later, among Tatars, there is both people, who are against Russia, and those that believe they are an integral part of it. Among Tatar separatists is the ethnic nationalist, founder of independence party ''[[Ittifaq Party|İttifaq]]'', [[Fauziya Bayramova]]. In 2018 Rafis Kashapov, a Tatar activist founded in Kyiv a separatist movement called "[[Free Idel-Ural]]".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Goble |first=Paul A. |date=2018 |title=Free Idel-Ural Movement takes shape in Kyiv |url=https://euromaidanpress.com/2018/03/24/free-idel-ural-movement-takes-shape-in-kyiv/}}</ref> Famous pro-Russian examples include the [[Grand Mufti]] of Russia, supporter of [[Eurasianism]], [[Talgat Tadzhuddin]].

Importance of the independence for Tatarstan comes up usually when discussing the Russification of Tatars, but it has also been noted, that it wouldn't necessarily solve the problem at least entirely. "Increasingly, minority peoples themselves decide to teach their children Russian to ensure economic integration". (K. Zubacheva, 2019<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zubacheva |first=Ksenia |date=2019 |title=Can Russia save its minority languages? |url=https://www.rbth.com/education/330220-minority-languages}}</ref>). Researcher in [[Bremen]] University, Daria Dergacheva thinks independence could happen in time, but also, that it would be very difficult and might not achieve the decolonization desired. She also states, that the ethnic nationalism required for it could fuel inter-ethnic conflicts, since Tatars are only 53% of the population in Tatarstan. Challenges include also the fact that Tatarstan is deeply embedded in Russia’s economy, trade, and infrastructure.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dergacheva |first=Daria |title=Russian decolonisation and Eurasia: An imperial legacy?
