Об Мирфатыхе Закиеве — Патриарх булгаризма, проигравший битву татарам, вернувшим себе Золотую Орду

On August 18, 2023, Mirfatykh Zakiev, a renowned scholar and member of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, passed away. Historians and specialists in the history of the Tatars and the Golden Horde remember Mirfatykh Zakiev most for his stance—he was a staunch Bulgarist who attempted to dress his views in scholarly garb. To be fair, it should be acknowledged that these attempts ultimately took quite extravagant forms. Kazan historians Iskander Izmailov and Damir Iskhakov had direct, and in some cases even heated, scholarly debates and discussions with Mirfatykh Zakiev. In a new video, Izmailov and Iskhakov share their memories of Zakiev and answer the question of who Mirfatykh Zakiev truly was for Tatarstan scholarship and the history of the Tatar people. 0:02 — Greetings 0:31 — One of the founders of the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan and Bulgarist Mirfatykh Zakiev has died 1:17 — Merits of Mirfatykh Zakiev to science 3:12 — Damir Iskhakov’s opinion about Mirfatykh Zakiev and his services to the history of the Tatars 8:29 — Iskander Izmailov about what era Mirfatykh Zakiev worked in 9:18 — Iskhakov about Mirfatykh Zakiev’s unwillingness to accept the changing world 12:23 — How changes occurring contrary to Zakiev’s position still happened in historical science in Tatarstan 15:23 — Tatarstan historians still managed to return to the Golden Horde heritage crossed out by Stalin 16:23 — About the basis of Mirfatykh Zakiev’s views 23:21 — What influenced Damir Iskhakov’s scientific views? 26:01 — About an attempt to cross the views of Damir Iskhakov and Iskander Izmailov with the views of Mirfatykh Zakiev
