    Annotation This study explores the role of interest in regional history as a significant factor in the formation of ethnic and regional identities. A multi-method approach was employed, integrating an analysis of regional media publications, expert interviews with historians, museum workers, and cultural representatives, as well as a survey of 2,510 respondents from Tatarstan. Findings indicate that interest in regional history is closely tied to identity formation, with 37% of respondents expressing high levels of engagement. Tatar respondents demonstrated a significantly higher interest compared to Russian respondents, influenced by the prominence of Tatar historical narratives. Key motivations for historical interest included a desire to understand personal identity (44%) and a commitment to preserving cultural heritage (54%). Conversely, lack of time and perceived irrelevance were cited as primary reasons for disinterest. This study highlights the significance of historical narratives in shaping ethnic and regional identities. Social memory serves as a mechanism for fostering interethnic cohesion and strengthening regional consciousness.
