About the book: year / I undertook to write about this because I am a Tatar and a Muslim, because my executed ancestor was a martyr for the faith (martyr), therefore It’s difficult to blame me for racial and religious xenophobia and sympathy for Russian nationalists. I undertook to write about this, fully aware of the possible consequences. I’m not a hero and never have been, there just comes a moment when you and only you have to decide: Who are you with? Who are your people for you? And what is the Motherland for you? This is not an analytical article and I would really like for me to be wrong in my conclusions, but alas... “And if anyone from the older generation is reading this, one request: do not remind us what you fought for our grandfathers. Ask yourself what your children are fighting for. Maybe this will also turn out to be something worthy?» ©
