The state policy in the republic is aimed at maintaining the balance of interests of Islam and Orthodoxy, the equality of all religions before the law.

In terms of the number of functioning religious communities, Tatarstan is one of the leaders among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. There are about 1,400 religious buildings in the republic, of which: 1,150 mosques, 200 churches, 50 religious buildings of other faiths.

In political and administrative terms, Tatarstan is divided into 43 municipal districts, 22 cities, 20 urban-type settlements, 897 rural settlements.

The Republic of Tatarstan is one of the most densely populated regions of Russia. In terms of population, Tatarstan ranks eighth among 83 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The total population of Tatarstan in mid-2011 amounted to 3 million 787 thousand 355 people.

Throughout the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century, the population of the region grew at a low rate: 1920 - 2.7 million people, 1970 - 3.13 million people, 1989 - 3.64 million people ., 1999 - 3.78 million people, 2002 - 3.77 million people.

In general, the demographic processes of the Republic of Tatarstan repeat the all-Russian trends. The total fertility rate in the period from 2005 to 2011 varied slightly, reaching a minimum in 2010 (9.6%) and a maximum in 2009 (11.8%).

In 2011, for the first time in the last 20 years, the number of births exceeded the number of deaths, and the natural increase in the population of the republic became positive (Fig. 1).

This trend continued in 2012. In July 2012, the coefficient of natural population growth increased to 1.2% and the population of the republic increased by 2996 people. An increase in the number of births not only of the first and second, but also of the third and subsequent children in the family was recorded.

The gender structure of the population of Tatarstan is dominated by the female population: the share of women is 53.9%, and men - 46.1%.

Women quantitatively predominate in the urban settlements of the republic. Thus, in cities, there are 1,015 women per 1,000 men of working age, and 2,652 women per 1,000 men of retirement age. Only among the townspeople of children's age (0-15 years) is there a preponderance towards the male population: there are 956 girls for every 1,000 boys.

In 2010, the average life expectancy of the republic's population was 70.8 years (the average for the Russian Federation is 69 years).

In the Republic of Tatarstan, a positive migration balance has been maintained for several decades, which indicates the economic attractiveness of the region both among the population of neighboring regions and among residents of the CIS countries. The main migration flows are directed to Tatarstan from the Chuvash Republic, the Republic of Mari El, Bashkortostan, and among the CIS countries - from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and other republics.

In 2010, 62.7% of the total number of migrants participated in intra-republican migrations. Among the cities of Tatarstan, the cities of Mamadysh (10.5‰), Buinsk (7.9‰), Menzelinsk (7.0‰), Kazan (6.9‰), Mendeleevsk (5.4‰) have the largest net migration.

Large industrial cities have either a low or negative net migration rate: Nizhnekamsk (-3.2‰), Naberezhnye Chelny (-0.9‰), Almetyevsk (0.1‰).

In total, representatives of 115 nationalities live on the territory of Tatarstan. The ethnic composition of the population is characterized by the predominance of representatives of three national groups - Tatars (53%), Russians (39.4%), Chuvashs (3.3%). All other national groups are less numerous, and the share of each of them does not exceed 1%. For example, the fourth national group after the Chuvashs is the Udmurt population, whose share is 0.6% of the total population.

The total share of other national groups is 4.2% of the total population of the republic. The ratio of the leading national groups of the republic according to the results of individual population censuses is presented in Table. 1.

Table 1 . The ratio of the leading national population groups according to the results of individual population censuses

The main areas of settlement of the predominantly Tatar population are Zakazanie, a vast area to the north and northeast of Kazan, as well as the east and south of the republic. Tatars numerically predominate in most districts and cities, and their share has increased almost throughout the entire territory of the republic (Fig. 3). The Chuvash and Mordovians traditionally live in the peripheral regions of the southwest, the Mari in the northwest, and the Udmurts in the northeast. The Russian population slightly predominates in areas located on both banks of the Volga and near the wide mouth of the Kama, flooded by the reservoir, as well as in the cities of Zelenodolsk, Chistopol (more than 60% of the population), Bugulma and Yelabuga (more than half). Large communities of Ukrainians and Bashkirs formed as a result of labor migrations of the 1960s–1970s, they are concentrated in Naberezhnye Chelny and Nizhnekamsk (more than 40% of Ukrainians and 55% of Bashkirs of the republic).

The population density of the republic is 55.8 people/km2. According to this indicator, Tatarstan noticeably surpasses most neighboring regions, yielding only to the Samara region (59.2 people/km2) and the Chuvash Republic (69.9 people/km2). For example, the same indicator in the Republic of Mari El is 30.2 people/km2, in Udmurtia - 38.6 people/km2, in the Kirov region - 11.6 people/km2, in Bashkortostan - 28.3 people/km2.

Rural population density map

In the Republic of Tatarstan, the density of the rural population is only 13.7 people/km2, which indicates high urbanization.

75.4% of the population of the republic lives in urban areas, 24.6% - in rural areas. The urban population tends to steadily slow growth.

The cities of the republic differ in the number of inhabitants and play an unequal role in the internal and external socio-economic processes of the republic. The largest cities with a population of more than 100 thousand people have a diversified industry, participate in the intra-regional division of labor, producing products oriented both to the domestic and foreign markets (Table 2).

table 2. Classification of cities by population(2010th year)

Due to historical and economic reasons, the urban population of the republic is distributed unevenly. Most of it is concentrated in the northwest, northeast and southeast of Tatarstan (Fig. 4). Systems, clusters of cities have formed here, which are developing agglomerations.

The most established is the Kazan agglomeration, which includes the city of Kazan, the city of Zelenodolsk and the settlement zone between them. About 1 million 300 thousand people live within the Kazan agglomeration, which is approximately 34.4% of the population of the republic and 45.5% of all citizens of the region.

Kazan is the capital of the republic, the only millionaire city in the region (1145.4 thousand people). It is the economic, cultural and political center of Tatarstan. The area of ​​Kazan is 425.3 km2. The birth and death rates coincide and amount to 13.1‰. Migration growth - (+4.6‰). The ethnic composition of the inhabitants is diverse, but the leading national groups are Russians (48.8%), Tatars (47.5%).

The Nizhnekamsk agglomeration, formed on the basis of young cities - Naberezhnye Chelny and Nizhnekamsk, as well as ancient Yelabuga, has about 850 thousand inhabitants, which is 22.4% of the population of the republic and 29.8% of the urban population.

Naberezhnye Chelny is a large industrial and cultural center in the north-east of the republic. This is the main city of the polycentric Nizhnekamsk agglomeration and the center of the Nizhnekamsk TIC, the second largest city in Tatarstan in terms of population and importance.

The area of ​​the city is 171 km2; population - 513.2 thousand people, which is about 13.5% of the population of Tatarstan. The coefficient of natural population growth is positive and amounts to 5.7‰. The migration growth of the population is negative and amounts to (- 0.9‰). The national composition of the city's population is represented by the following main national groups: Tatars - 45.7%, Russians - 45.1%, Chuvash - 1.9%, Ukrainians - 1.6%, Bashkirs - 1.4%.

Nizhnekamsk is a large industrial center of the republic. This is the third largest city in Tatarstan, the administrative center of the Nizhnekamsk municipal district.

The area of ​​Nizhnekamsk is 61.0 km2, the population is 234.1 thousand inhabitants. The coefficient of natural increase is positive and amounts to 5.7 ‰, the coefficient of net migration is (-3.2 ‰). The national composition of the population is represented mainly by Tatars (46.5%), Russians (46.1%), Chuvashs (3.0%), Ukrainians (1.0%), Bashkirs (1%).

Elabuga (city since 1780) is the industrial and cultural-historical center of the republic. It is the seventh most populous city in Tatarstan. Its area is 18.4 km2, the population is 70.9 thousand people. The natural population growth is positive and amounts to 3.5‰, the net migration coefficient is also positive (+ 3.5‰).

The cities of the south-east of the republic (Almetyevsk, Bugulma, Leninogorsk, Aznakaevo, Bavly), closely connected by industrial, economic and cultural ties, form an industrial hub that contributed to the emergence of a new agglomeration.

About 337 thousand people live within the Almetyevsko-Bugulma agglomeration, which is 8.9% of the population of the republic and 11.9% of the urban population of the region.

Almetyevsk is the administrative center of the Almetyevsk municipal district, the largest city in the polycentric Almetyevsk-Bugulma agglomeration, the center of the Almetyevsk-Bugulma TPK of the republic, the fourth largest city in Tatarstan in terms of population and importance.

The area of ​​the city is 41 km2, the population is 146.2 thousand people. The natural population growth is positive and amounts to 1.3‰. The migration growth of the population has slowed down and amounts to 0.1‰. The national composition of the population is represented by the following national groups: Tatars - 50.4%, Russians - 42.9%, Chuvashs - 2.4%, Mordovians - 2.4%.

Republican agglomerations are large industrial centers, concentrating in total 65.7% of the total population and 87.1% of the urban population of Tatarstan, act as "points of growth" of the regional economy.

The number of labor resources in the Republic of Tatarstan is 2434.3 thousand people, and the economically active population is 2092.8 thousand people. (July 2012).

The Republic of Tatarstan ranks eighth in terms of population among other subjects and regions of the Russian Federation, behind Moscow and the Moscow Region, Krasnodar Territory, St. Petersburg, Sverdlovsk and Rostov Regions, as well as the Republic of Bashkortostan. The population of Tatarstan is characterized by a diverse ethnic composition, a fairly high number of urban residents even in comparison with the average data for the country, and a positive growth trend over the past ten years.

Dynamics of the population of Tatarstan

The first statistical data on the number began to be collected in 1926 - six years after the formation of the Tatar Autonomy within the Soviet Union. Tatarstan then amounted to just over two and a half million inhabitants.

Since the establishment of Soviet power, the population dynamics has been positive. Even in the difficult 1990s, the population of Tatarstan increased annually by at least ten to twenty thousand people. The record annual increase in the 1990s was recorded in 1993 (compared to the previous period) and amounted to 27,000 people.

Growth slowed down in 2001. The negative trend continued until 2007. It is likely that the decline in the birth rate and the simultaneous increase in mortality were associated mainly with the general in the Russian Federation. The reasons for this phenomenon are:

• poor quality of medical care;
• high level of violence, unfavorable crime situation;
• alcoholization of the population;
• poor environmental situation in the country;
• lack of spread of healthy lifestyle ideas;
• generally low standard of living.

At the beginning of 2017, the population of Tatarstan is three million and almost nine hundred thousand people. This is 18,000 more than the previous year and 31,000 more than the 2015 census.

Localities by population

Expectedly, the capital of the republic, the city of Kazan, is the leader in terms of numbers. 31% of all inhabitants of the region (1.2 million people) live there. The population of the Republic of Tatarstan by cities further distributes settlements in the following order:

• Naberezhnye Chelny (13% of the population).
• Nizhnekamsk (6%).
• Almetyevsk (almost 4%).
• Zelenodolsk (2.5%).

Below is a map with symbols of cities, commensurate with the percentage of the number of inhabitants of the municipality in comparison with other settlements of the republic.

The number of urban residents in Tatarstan is 76%, which indicates a high level of urbanization in the region.

National composition of the inhabitants

The population of Tatarstan is distinguished by a significant national diversity. The main ethnic group is represented by the Tatars (53% of the inhabitants), followed by the Russian population (almost 40% of the inhabitants of the republic). Other groups are represented by Chuvashs, Udmurts, Mordovians, Ukrainians, Maris, Bashkirs and many more nationalities and ethnic formations. In total, 7% of the inhabitants of the republic indicated during the census nationality other than Tatars or Russians.

By the way, the number of the indigenous people of the republic is gradually increasing. If in 1926 the Tatars made up 48.7% of the population, then by 2002 the figure increased by 4.2%. The share of Russians, respectively, is decreasing: from 43% in 1926 to 39.5-39.7% in 2002-2010. Tatars form the majority in 32 of the republic's 43 localities, while Russians form the majority in 10. In another municipality, the Chuvash make up the largest population group.

Other demographics

The growing population of Tatarstan is associated with high birth rates in the republic. A long decline was observed only in the 1990s, then the birth rate declined in 2005. For the last ten years, the number of births per thousand population less than 10.9 people has not been recorded; in 2014, the birth rate was 14.8 people at all. (on average in Russia - 13.3).

Natural population growth in Tatarstan (for 2014) is positive and amounts to 2.6. For comparison: in all regions, this indicator is at the level of no more than 0.2. The life expectancy of the population has been increasing since 2011 and, according to the latest data, is 72 years.

The Russian Federation, in addition to Russian cities, includes various republics of other nationalities. These include Tatarstan, whose population consists not only of Tatars. This state has a huge cultural heritage, the study of which is very exciting. The cities of Tatarstan, it would seem, are very different from each other, but at the same time they have a large number of similarities. It is these moments that will be discussed.

About the Republic

Tatarstan is located in the region of the middle Volga region. It belongs to the Volga Federal District. The area of ​​Tatarstan is limited by such regions as Ulyanovsk, Samara, Kirov and Orenburg, as well as the republics of Mari El, Chuvashia, Udmurtia and Bashkiria. The capital of this subject of the Russian Federation is the city of Kazan.

The entire area of ​​Tatarstan is about 68 thousand square kilometers. The total population is 3868.7 thousand people. Among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the republic is in seventh place in terms of the number of people living in the territory. The population density of Tatarstan is fifty-seven people per square kilometer. This is well above the national average of 8.57 people per square kilometer.

In ancient times, Finno-Ugric tribes lived on the territory of this subject of the Russian Federation. They were displaced by the Bulgar communities, who were able to create their own state. But their time did not last long - the Mongol-Tatars destroyed everything. The current territory of Tatarstan was part of the Golden Horde. And only after its collapse did the Kazan Khanate appear. Ivan the Terrible included him in the Russian kingdom. After that, the Kazan province was created, which during the revolutions was renamed the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the republic acquired a new name - Tatarstan.

About settlements and main nationalities of the republic

The number of settlements, in addition to the million-plus city of Kazan, includes twenty-six more cities. Three of them (Naberezhnye Chelny, Nizhnekamsk, Almetyevsk) have more than 100 thousand inhabitants. More than 50 thousand live in such settlements as Zelenodolsk, Bugulma, Yelabuga, Leninogorsk, Chistopol. The Republic of Tatarstan is incredibly multinational. Its population is diverse. It has more than 173 nationalities. Among them:

• Tatars (about 53.2% of the total population);
• Russians (39.7%);
• Chuvash (3.1%);
• Udmurts (0.6%);
• Bashkirs (0.36%);
• other nationalities (less than 3.1%).

The population by regions shows that the percentage of Tatars in almost all regions is slightly less than that of Russians.

Kazan is the heart of the republic

The capital of any state is its pride. The same can be said about Kazan. The origin of this city is as ancient as the origin of the Republic of Tatarstan itself. Not without reason, in the Old Slavic times, the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation was called the "Kazan Khanate".

Kazan is the pearl of the Republic of Tatarstan, the population supports the preservation of cultural heritage with all its might, but at the same time it brings modern features to the image of the city. Today, the settlement is a modern center that has not lost its former grandeur at all.

A little more than a million people live on the territory of Kazan. This is the largest city in the republic. It is predominantly populated by Russians and Tatars (approximately 48% and 47% respectively). Other nationalities are relatively rare. That is why two directions prevail in religious views: Orthodox Christianity and Sunni Islam.

Distinctive features of other cities of the republic

In addition to the million-plus city, there are other noteworthy settlements on the territory of Tatarstan. For example, Naberezhnye Chelny. During the Soviet Union, this city was the leading city in the country in terms of the production of KamAZ trucks. It was this event that turned an ordinary small town into a progressive center. In that era, the city was even renamed Brezhnev, but somehow this decision did not take root. The administration had to return the former name.

Another very interesting city is Almetyevsk. This is the oldest settlement in the Republic of Tatarstan, whose population is a valuable bearer of the traditions and legends of the former Kazan Khanate. At the same time, Nizhnekamsk is the youngest city in the republic. But, surprisingly, it is in third place after Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny in terms of the number of inhabitants.

In addition to these cities, there are other noteworthy settlements. All of them, even in the photo, have some kind of elusive similarity in buildings, streets and other little things. But at the same time, the difference between these cities is also felt.

Finally

Tatarstan is one of the ten largest subjects belonging to the Russian Federation. The beauty of its capital does not deteriorate over the years. The city is getting better and better. The population mainly consists of Russians and Tatars, so it will not be difficult for those wishing to visit this glorious republic to communicate with the locals. And their friendliness and hospitality will impress anyone.

(November 17, 2015) Representatives of which ethnic groups have increased in number, which have decreased, how many new ones have appeared? These and other questions were answered by specialists from the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan and the State Statistics Committee of Tatarstan.

In a large and varied exposition, prepared for the 95th anniversary of the TASSR, an ethnographic map of the Tatar ASSR was presented at the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan. In 1920, on the basis of the last census, it was compiled by the literary critic Shagar Sharaf. Moreover, in two languages ​​- Tatar in Arabic script and Russian. In 1925, the map was revised to reflect changes in the cantons (districts). If in 1922 there were thirteen of them: Arsky, Bugulminsky, Buinsky, Laishevsky, Mamadyshsky, Menzelinsky, Sviyazhsky, Spassky, Tetyushsky, Chistopolsky, Yelabuga, Chelninsky, Agryzsky, then in 1924 there were already twelve.

It is noticeable on the map that the Russians lived along the banks of the Volga, Kama and Vyatka rivers, as well as near the cities and in the cities themselves: Kazan, Sviyazhsk, Laishev, Spassk, Tetyushi, Yelabuga, Chelny, Mamadysh, Menzelinsk, Bugulma, Chistopol, Buinsk and Arsk. Tatars were settled throughout the republic, but prevailed in rural areas. The Chuvashs and Mordovians are located mainly in the southern, southeastern and southwestern regions. Mari and Votyaks (Udmurts) are concentrated in the northern, northeastern and southeastern parts of the republic.

According to the 1920 census, the ethnic composition of cities and villages of the Tatar Republic differed significantly, - comments, showing an ethnographic map, senior researcher at the department of history and culture of the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan Vera Ivanova. - Among the rural population, the share of Tatars was 55.1%, Russians - 36.5%, Chuvash - 5.4%, Mordovians - 1.5%, Votyaks (Udmurts) - 0.9%, Mari - 0.5% , others - 0.1%. In the cities, on the contrary, the Russian population dominated, their share was 74.8%, while the Tatars accounted for 22.2%, the rest - 3%.

Kazan was one of the largest cities in the republic in terms of population, in 1920 representatives of 50 nationalities lived in it. Russians made up 73.95%, Tatars - 19.43%, Jews - 3.47%, Chuvashs - 0.4%, Maris - 0.09%, others - 2.69%. Others included relatively large groups of Poles, Letts, Germans, Lithuanians, Magyars, Hungarians, Estonians, Mordovians, Armenians, Greeks, Votyaks, and French.

According to the State Statistics Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan, now Tatarstan is one of the most multinational territories of Russia, where 173 ethnic groups live. According to the last census of 2010, Tatars (including Astrakhan and Siberian) prevail among the peoples living in the republic. Russians are in second place, Chuvashs are in third, and Udmurts are in fourth. The fifth largest are the Mordovians, the sixth are the Mari, the seventh are the Ukrainians, the eighth are the Bashkirs.

In Kazan, the proportion of Russians is 48.6%, Tatars - 47.6%, in Naberezhnye Chelny, on the contrary, Tatars predominate in terms of numbers. There are more of them in all municipal districts of the republic, with the exception of nine, in which there is a high proportion of the Russian population. These are Alekseevsky, Bugulminsky, Verkhneuslonsky, Yelabuga, Zelenodolsky, Laishevsky, Novosheshminsky, Spassky and Chistopolsky districts. Approximately equal numbers of Tatars and Russians in the Tetyushsky municipal district: Tatars - 32.7%, Russians - 35.7%.

In addition to Russians and Tatars, a significant part of the population of other nationalities lives in the regions of Tatarstan. In the Aksubayevsky district of the republic, the Chuvash make up the majority - 44.0%, in the Drozhzhanovsky district they are 41.1%, in Nurlatsky - 25.3%, in Cheremshansky - 22.8%, in Tetyushsky - 20.9%, in Buinsky 19, 9%, in Alkeevsky 19.2%. Udmurts live in Kukmorsky district - 14.0%, in Baltasinsky - 11.9%, in Agryzsky - 6.4%, in Bavlinsky - 5.6%.

The peoples who inhabited the territory of the TASSR in 1920:

City of Kazan: Russians - 73.95%, Tatars - 19.43%, Jews - 3.47%, Chuvash - 0.4%, Mari - 0.09%, others - 2.69%.

The current version of the page has not yet been reviewed by experienced members and may differ significantly from the one reviewed on November 1, 2018; checks are required.

The population of the republic according to Rosstat is 3 902 642 people (2020). Tatarstan ranks 8th in terms of population among the subjects of the Russian Federation. Population density - 57,52 person/km 2 (2020). Urban population - 76,63 % (2018).

Although both main ethnic groups of the republic generally lead a similar way of life, there are significant differences in the dynamics of the number of the Tatar and Russian population of the republic. Thus, compared with Russians, Tatars have an average birth rate higher (in the countryside - 1.3 times, in the city - 1.5 times). Mortality among Tatars is somewhat lower (9.9 versus 11.2 ppm), the proportion of young age groups among Tatars is higher. The natural increase in the population of the republic: 4.0% for Tatars and -1.4% for Russians.

For these reasons, according to the forecast data for the future ethnic composition of the Republic of Tatarstan, by 2030 the proportion of Tatars within the republic will increase. By the end of the forecast period, this figure may reach 58.8%, and the share of Russians will be 35.3%. The urbanization of the Tatars will proceed at a rapid pace, and the places of their settlement will increasingly be larger cities and agglomerations. A significant increase in the number of Tatars is predicted in the largest cities with a relatively high standard of living of the population.

Chuvash make up a significant part of the population of Aksubayevsky district of the republic - 44.0%, Drozhzhanovsky district - 41.1% of Chuvash, Nurlatsky district - 25.3%, Cheremshansky district - 22.8%, Tetyushsky district - 20, 9%, Buinsky district - 19.9% ​​and Alkeevsky district - 19.2%.

Udmurts live compactly in the Kukmorsky district, where they make up 14.0% of the total population, in the Baltasinsky district - 11.9%, in the Agryzsky district - 6.4%, in the Bavlinsky district - 5.6%.

According to the 2010 census, 13.7 thousand Bashkirs live in Tatarstan, of which 5.9 thousand live in Naberezhnye Chelny, 1.8 thousand live in Kazan.

The Jews of Tatarstan and Udmurtia are special territorial groups of Ashkenazim, formed in the region of residence of a mixed Turkic, Finno-Ugric and Slavic-speaking population. Ashkenazi Jews have been living on the territory of Tatarstan since the 1830s.
