The white stripe is located between stripes of green and red colours.
The colours of the State Flag of the Republic of Tatarstan mean: green----verdure of spring, revival; white---purity; red---maturity, energy, force and life. The combination of these colours symbolizes Tatarstan as a renascent (возрождающуюся) republic with pure motives and mature vital forces for the development of its statehood The creator of the State Flag of the Republic of Tatarstan is the artist T.G.

The central image of the coat of arms is a winged snow leopard. In ancient times, the snow leopard was a deity of fertility and the patron of children. In the Coat of Arms of Tatarstan the snow leopard is the patron of the people of the republic. The leopard is depicted on a background of a red disc of the sun, a fortuitous sign that represents success, happiness and life.
On the left side of the leopard there is a round gold shield to portray the legal, economic, and military security of the citizens of the republic. A white aster with an even number of petal symbolises purity, eternal source of life, wish of longevity.
The raised right forepaw of the snow leopard is a traditional heraldic gesture underlining greatness of the Supreme authority.
The sharp teeth and claws of the snow leopard demonstrate his ability to defend himself.
The wings contain seven feathers to symbolize influence of the white leopard’s patronizing force-both on the earth and in the heavens. The position of the white leopard’s tail indicates his good mood and friendliness.
A tulip symbolises the awakening of nature in spring and the revival of Tatarstan.
Three gold circles, covering the coat of arms at three levels, express the idea of unity, infinity and perfection. Gold is a symbol of the riches of Tatarstan’ land.
The creator of the Coat of Arms are Dr. N.G.Khanzafarov (concept) and the artist R.Z. Fakhrutdinov.

Robert: Excuse me, are you the English students who’ve been visiting Tatarstan.
Gary: Yes, That’s right.
Robert: I’m a reporter from the Молодежь Татарстана. I wonder whether you’d like to tell me something about your visit. Were you invited by the National Union of Students?
Gary: Yes we were.
Robert: How long have you been here?
Gary: Since last Monday.
Robert: And what have you seen during your visit?
Gary: Oh, we’ve been to so many places, I really don’t know where to begin. First we visited The Kazan Kremlin, then the Kazan State University and the Opera House of course.
Robert: Did you manage to get to the theatre while you were in Kazan?
Gary: Oh yes, we saw “The 1000 th Anniversary of Kazan”.
Barbara: And in London we went to the Old Vic. It was marvelous!
Robert: It’s a pity you’ve had such bad weather. It’s been raining almost every day since you arrived.
Gary: That didn,t really matter. After all, we expected rain when we come to Tatarstan and we were quite disappointed we had no fog.
Robert: You’ll have to come again one winter if you want to see a real Kazan fog.
Barbara: We’d love to come again .We’ve had such a wonderful time and everyone’s been so kind to us.
Robert: Well, what did you like best in Tatarstan?
Barbara: The underground. It’s terrific!
Robert: And what about you Gary. What did you like best?
Gary: The Kazan Kremlin. I’m studying history, you see.
Robert: Now, if it isn’t too indiscreet a question, may I ask you what you disliked most?
Gary: But really, we enjoyed every thing.
Robert: Nonsense! There must have been something you didn’t like. Apart from the weather of course.
Barbara: There was just one thing, you know. Being woken every morning at seven with a horribly strong cup of tea with milk.
Robert: I’m glad it wasn’t anything worse.
Gary: The train will be leaving in a moment. I’m afraid we have to say good-bye to the rest of our group now. But Barbara here and I are staying a little longer, so we’ll tell you more about our visit later.
