More information about the video content bellow:
1. Nowadays, the Republic of Tatarstan is an important federal subject of the Russian Federation, set at the confluence of the Volga and the Kama Rivers. The region is located approximately 800 km east of Moscow, which is not that far by Russian standards.

2. During the 6-7th centuries, the territory of Tatarstan was part of the Turkic Khaganate which inhabited the Magyar tribes. Later on, they were superseded by Volga Bulgarians who conquered these lands and formed an early feudal state of Volga-Kama Bulgaria. The state gained independence and repeatedly entered military conflicts with Kievan Rus. In the 13th century, as a result of the Mongol-Tatars invasion, Volga Bulgaria fell to the armies of the Mongol prince and became part of the Golden Horde. After that, the population became known as Volga Tatars.

3. The capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, officially bears the title of the "Third Capital of Russia" due to its rich cultural and historical heritage. This beautiful city on the left bank of the Volga River is noted for its centuries-old religious tolerance.

4. The rural yet charming town-island of Sviyazhsk is a famous landmark located 30 km from Kazan. Built in 1551 by the troops of Ivan the Terrible in just 4 weeks, this architectural complex includes 4 monasteries, 3 churches, 2 cathedrals, and a bell tower.

5. You’ve heard about Bulgaria, but not its ancient, lesser-known, more mysterious namesake. A quaint Slavic country on the southern tip of the Balkans, famed for its beaches, roses, and ski resorts. This is probably the first thing that’ll come to mind when you hear “Bulgaria.” But have you heard about the other Bulgaria? The one in the middle of Russia?

6. The Temple of All Religions (Russian: Храм всех религий, Tatar: Барлык диннәр гыйбәдәтханәсе) or the Universal Temple (Russian: Вселенский храм) is a unique architectural complex in the Staroye Arakchino Microdistrict of Kazan, Russia. It consists of several types of religious architecture including an Orthodox church, a mosque, and a synagogue, among others. It is currently under construction since 1992.

7. Kazan subway, having 5 stations, is listed among Guinness World Records as the shortest metro system in the world. One can get from one end to another for 10 minutes!
