In Zainsk, a theatrical performance dedicated to the 140th anniversary of Gabdulla Tukay was showcased at the Sabantuy.

      Every year, the main festive venue in Zainsk becomes the R. Sh. Fardiev City Park. The grand opening of Sabantuy in Zainsk began with a theatrical performance dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the birth of the great Tatar poet Gabdulla Tukay. The audience was shown the journey of little Apusha. His childlike eyes first discover the beauty of the native nature, hear the songs of ordinary people, and absorb the wisdom of the older generation. Spring arrives in Kirlai with the first rays of the sun, awakening the earth, and along with it – the thoughts, feelings, and dreams of the future poet. Through folk songs, games, celebrations, and labor, Tukay learns about the world, learns to understand the beauty of his native language and the strength of the people's spirit. Every villager, every encounter, every corner of nature becomes part of his formation. – Sabantuy is a great folk holiday passed down to us by our ancestors. It has become a symbol of the preservation and continuity of our spiritual traditions. The main heroes of Sabantuy are the workers of the village. Despite the fact that nature presents us with all sorts of challenges, the experience accumulated over the years helps farmers perform their work with dignity, achieving worthy results even in the most difficult conditions. Nature continues to test us, and this year was no exception. But the experience accumulated over the years by farmers and the use of advanced technologies helped overcome difficult conditions, and in the current spring field season – the fields of our district delight the eye with harmonious sprouts and the purity of the green cover. Today on this stage, we will award the leading farms of the district, production leaders, mechanizers, specialists in crop production and animal husbandry, agronomists, livestock specialists, veterinarians, engineers, and farmers. Thanks to joint labor and coordinated work in tandem, the district maintains leading positions in agriculture in the republic. When our compatriots have been participating in a special military operation for the fifth year, defending the independence, state, and territorial integrity of Russia, agricultural workers stand guard over the country's food security! A huge thank you to everyone for their noble work! I also sincerely congratulate everyone on the birthday of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin and the Day of the Russian Language, which has been celebrated since 2010 on June 6, the birthday of the great Russian poet. Pushkin's works unite people of different ages, faiths, and nationalities, and are translated into dozens of languages around the world. Many of those gathered here probably knew Pushkin's fairy tales even before school, before they learned to read, and his creativity accompanies us throughout our lives; his works remain relevant at all times, – congratulated the residents of Zainsk and the guests of the city on the holiday, the head of the district Razif Karimov. On behalf of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, the deputy head of the Administration of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Igor Saveliev congratulated the residents of Zainsk on Sabantuy. The deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan Rinat Fazylov also expressed gratitude for the tireless work of the residents of the district. The Soviet skier, honored master of sports of the USSR, honored coach of Russia, four-time Olympic champion Nikolai Zimyatov joined the congratulations.
