> Tatar as one of the official languages
That's the thing - I can't speak about Tatarstan, but in KBR both Kabardian and Balkar are official languages on par with Russian. Yet, Russian is being pushed at almost every level, starting from education.
And this is done using rather crude methods, including assassination of local activists such as Timur Kuashev - now we also know his death coincided with visit of the FSB "chemical" team who later poisoned Navalny.
