The Voice of Tukay: on the 140th anniversary of the great Tatar poet. Read by Vera Kurintseva

      In April 2026, it will be 140 years since the birth of Gabdulla Tukay. He is called the "Tatar Pushkin." He is loved by both adults and children. The anniversary of Gabdulla Tukay will be celebrated as an important cultural event at the national level. The editorial office of the newspaper "Kamskaya Nov" joins the celebrations related to the anniversary of the great Tatar poet. The editorial office is implementing the project "Voice of Tukay": publishing a selection of videos featuring readings of Gabdulla Tukay's poems, filmed in libraries, schools, and cultural centers of the Laishevsky district. The video of the poem "Sometimes you can't drown out the sadness" was sent by Maria Kukushkina (Orlovskaya Library), for which we are very grateful. Vera Kuryntseva reads. Voice of Tukay: join the memory. The libraries of the Laishevsky district are starting to collect voices — your voice can become part of history. Record yourself reading Gabdulla Tukay's poems — and send the video to Makh at the number 8-962-55-14-888 or to the editorial office. Why is Tukay not just a poet, but a legend? Gabdulla Tukay was born on April 26, 1886, in the village of Koshlautch. By the age of four, the boy was left an orphan. He was passed from family to family like an unwanted burden. His grandfather did not accept him: "I had tears — without consolation." In a stranger's house, the orphan was superfluous — not to their liking, not to their pocket. Only in Uralsk did the merchant Galiaskar Usmanov notice him — and took him in. There, in a madrasah, the boy found his place among books in a Russian class. By the age of 18, his translations of Krylov's fables appeared in the magazine "Al-Gasr al-jadid." From an unknown orphan grew the founder of modern Tatar poetry. The lines of Gabdulla Tukay became a prayer, an anthem, a response of the hearts of an entire nation. Tomorrow — it’s your turn. Read Tukay. Record his words. Pass them on — not only as a memory but as a living voice that will resonate for a long time. Lyudmila Nikiforova
