Second guest of this season – Dr. Helen M. Faller, a well-known anthropologist in the world of Turkic studies, who dedicated a part of her research to Tatar studies. We talked with Helen about her way of coming to Tatar research through Kazakh and Uzbek, and writing her book on Tatarstan's sovereignty movement. We also talked about how her life was during sovereignty in Tatarstan, and what life interactions she had as a Tatar-speaking foreign researcher in Kazan. ⁠⁠Tatar.identity at Taplink Links: Helen's book Website Twitter
