“	It would be reasonable to integrate links to respective Wikipedia articles from trilingual websites of Tatarstan state authorities, ministries and departments, municipalities and subordinate organizations. Inviting people to see materials and links, collected in this "human blockchain system" by individuals that can keep own anonymity is the strongest sign that the Republic is an interesting place for both local and foreign investments, a worthy destination for different types of tourism, and a choice as a place to live, work and play.	”
— Roman Shaykhutdinov

“	In global engagement and impact ratings, Official Tatarstan portal Tatarstan.ru is today 5690th (Alexa Internet) and 513740th (SimilarWeb). Materials in Wikipedia.org and other Wikimedia projects have a greater significance for search engines, AI and citizens of the planet.	”
— Farhad Fatkullin

Slides for Presentation to the Tatarstan Parliament

Maximum integration with Wikimedia projects is an important instrument for raising international awareness about investments, cultural, business, scientific and touristic attractiveness of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Expected results

• Global awareness of the region (Tatarstan) ranks as high as of the sovereign state it is part of (Russian Federation), provincial capital, other towns and municipal districts - similar to the capitals, regions and towns of any other country of the world.
• Any citizen of the planet has an easy reach to the cultural and educational, business and social realities of the region.
• Regional multilingualism stops being a phenomena relying on permanent state support, turning into a self-sustainable profit center.
• Students, residents and those otherwise having links to the region start feeling higher engagement with and participation in shaping the destiny of the region.

Required work

1. Structuring the project.
2. Formulating its implementation plan.
3. Preparing a list of type of work, lists (maps), exemplary samples for various categories and pages for monitoring thematic stats.
4. Organizing measures to incentivize Tatarstan and related wiki-activities

Measuring progress

• Regular standard reports on Wiki-popularity:
  • Tatarstan interdistrict rating
  • Comparing various Tatarstan indicators with similars for all other regions of Russia and other world countries.
• Regular reports on project or sub-project participants' wiki-activities (example)
• Regular reports on thematic lists.
