Today, the Tatars are ambiguous. On the one hand, they are admired, because it was they, together with their Mongol brothers, who managed to conquer the good half (if not more) of the Old World. On the other hand, they are not quite friendly, because there is an opinion that the character of the Tatars is far from ideal. This people is belligerent, brave, cunning and to some extent cruel. But the truth, as always, is somewhere in between.
The nature of the Tatars was largely determined by the conditions in which they lived. Nomads, as you know, were hardy people, strong and courageous. They could easily adapt not only to any weather conditions, but also to any life situations. But always the Tatars remained faithful to their national traditions, the life of the community was led by smart people in accordance with ancient traditions.
What kind of character do Tatars really have? People who are closely acquainted with this people note that their main qualities are perseverance and hard work. There are always many children in Tatar families. An interesting fact is that they believe that a sick woman can recover when she gives birth to another baby. Family for the Tatar - the most important thing, he is kind to his half. Divorces among people of this nationality are quite few. And they live very friendly, always support each other, which today is very rare for the peoples of the West.
Despite the fact that the character of the Tatars as a whole includes such qualities as honesty and kindness, there are traitors, and scoundrels, and cowards among them. As the saying goes, there is a black sheep everywhere. The struggle for survival in the conditions of nomadic life generated in the hearts of the representatives of this people a certain envy, ambition, and cunning. The Tatars are quite prudent, have a bright and quick mind, but also hot heads. However, they always think well before saying anything outrage. Since ancient times, the Tatars have been engaged in commercial affairs, therefore, they are doing well in this business today. But trade itself requires chastity, resourcefulness and cunning from a person. Interestingly, the Tatar villages were not serfs. They lived according to their own rules and laws, and the landowners did not exist at the expense of the labor of ordinary peasants.
The character of the Tatars is special, as is their worldview, philosophy, culture and language. But there is another distinctive feature of this people - the national cuisine, about which there are legends. Simple and nutritious, healthy food personify the hospitality of the Tatar people. Always the traveler was offered hot dishes - meat, dairy and lean. As a rule, on the table there is always a hot meal with flour dressing. There are festive and ritual dishes, for example, dumplings and broth stuffed with eggs. In practice, pilaf with boiled meat, amazing and varied pastries is considered a classic. Bread is considered sacred.
Despite the fact that the people profess Islam, the Tatars are male characters are quite friendly. In principle, Tatar is inherent in almost the same qualities that are characteristic of a Russian person, so girls should not be afraid if their chosen one belongs to this ethnic group.
