Inspiring. The Farmers Palace which is so spectacular dates only from 2010, according to Yandex.

I love the style of writing in this text! Switching between your visit and the general history of the region makes this a unique reading experience. I do not know how much of an expert you are on Northern Eurasian history, but one subject I would like you to write more about is the Tatars. Not just Volga Tatars, but a narrative following the identity of "Tatar-ness" and the word Tatar from Siberia to Azerbaijan would be a fun read. Props for this post again.
