Tatarstan has become Russia's "showcase" to the world, experts said.

      Successes in relations with BRICS countries and the Islamic world have strengthened Tatarstan’s position on the world stage.

      The Constitution of the Republic of Tatarstan played a key role in shaping the region’s international authority, according to Andrey Bolshakov, head of the Department of International Relations at Kazan Federal University (KFU). In the expert’s view, the Basic Law adopted three decades ago, with its progressive provisions, together with the republic’s active paradiplomacy, have allowed Tatarstan to significantly strengthen its international standing. Particular note is made of successes in relations with Islamic countries and BRICS members, including the upcoming recognition of Kazan as the Cultural Capital of the Islamic World in 2026.

      Bolshakov emphasized that Tatarstan often acts as a "showcase of the Russian Federation" for piloting new laws and initiatives, which confirms its unique status and leading role in the federal system.
