    Annotation A key factor of consolidation and harmony in any society is a responsible and respectful attitude to its past. The study of the relationship between memory politics and the identities of ethnic groups, for whom the origin and sense of a shared past consolidates solidarity in the present, determines the perceptions of their identity and relations with other groups, is particularly significant. The article presents the results of the study of the Politics of Memory in the Republic of Tatarstan and considers the processes of turning to the Bulgarian period as a source that can be referred to in order to explain the foundations and current trends of events in politics, religion, art and even to analyze a number of ethical issues (such as patriotism, tolerance, etc.). Representations of the Bulgarian period help to build an image of a self-evident «natural peace« between representatives of different ethnic groups and confessions in the region. The strategy works primarily through such channels as the media, statements by officials, and education. The positive effect of such a memory policy is to establish tolerance as a norm that is used for socialization within the framework of the institution of education, while the negative effect is related to the fact that the problems of interaction between multiple ethnic groups and confessions can be attributed to chance, and lead to the eventual ignoring of systemic problems.
    Keywords ethnicity, confession, politics of memory, social memory, tourism, places of memory.
