I’ve been to Tatarstan. The Tatars are a Turkic people who were conquered and Islamicized by the Mongols in the 13th century. They are nominally Muslim now. Physically, they resemble Mexicans. Often, they are indistinguishable from the many Russians who live there, except by their names, language and religion. Large numbers of them were forcibly relocated by Stalin. The Tatars are very conscious that they live in the sticks. Their capital, Kazan, was the capital of The Golden Horde, and was conquered by Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century.
well if they really believe Obama took their slogan, they must be pretty stupid
