But the true value lies in the systemic effect," emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan Leila Fazleeva. "The Society 'Knowledge' ensures equal access to knowledge for youth from all municipalities, integrates into social and patriotic projects. The Society unites the efforts of authorities, experts, and residents of the republic to solve a common task – to raise responsible, knowledgeable, and patriotic citizens who love their homeland and are ready to build the future of Tatarstan," she added.

Lecturers from Tatarstan always support initiatives that the educational organization launches for commemorative dates, for example, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. Significant work has been carried out in the republic with the parent community. Thus, 28 schools from Tatarstan became winners of the second season of the Competition for Initiatives of Parent Communities and received a total of more than 15 million rubles from the Society "Knowledge" to implement their projects. In the spring, Kazan became the venue for a large-scale event of the Society "Knowledge" for the first time and hosted the marathon Knowledge.First. The chief federal inspector for the Republic of Tatarstan Viktor Demidov and the former Minister of Youth Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan, now Deputy Prime Minister of RT Rinat Sadikov, delivered welcoming speeches. Lecturers from the Society "Knowledge" conduct thematic cycles of educational events for participants of the regional program "Batyrlar. Heroes of Tatarstan." For instance, the Deputy Prime Minister of Tatarstan Leila Fazleeva presented career prospects in the republic to military personnel. "Today, educational activities in Tatarstan have become truly mass and multifaceted. This is the result of the synergy of all levels of government and a wide range of experts. It is the lecturer community that is the heart of our success. Each of them is a bright personality capable of engaging and inspiring. Their main mission is to raise a generation of true patriots ready to create the future of our country," said Alexey Zinoviev, director of the branch of the Society "Knowledge" in the Republic of Tatarstan. "It is especially important that our work is carried out not only in Kazan but also in the districts of the republic so that every resident has access to reliable knowledge and feels part of a common cause," he added. Educational events of the Society "Knowledge" have become part of many regional events. For example, the Championship in professional skills among participants of the special military operation "Abilympics" 2025, the Republican Youth Forum "Our Tatarstan," the XI International Geography Dictation, the International Festival of Geographic Team Intellectual Games "Gefest," the Volga Forum "Constructive," and the program of zonal seminars for directors' advisors on upbringing in Tatarstan.
