It is no secret that on the territory of the Idel-Ural, only where the Tatars managed to survive more or less compactly, the Erzya, the Mari, the Chuvash, and the Udmurts manage to survive to some extent even thanks to them… The Tatars have always been the very axis of survival of all the ethnic masses of the Idel-Ural, they play the same role that the Germans and Germany play in the EU today.”
