School principal fined over book "Hidden History of the Tatars"
A book called "Hidden History of the Tatars" was found in the library of School No. 4 in the village of Verkhneyarkeevo in Bashkortostan. It was previously recognized as extremist.
The director of the institution, Svetlana Khakimova, was fined 2,000 rubles. The woman was charged with distributing a book by Tatar writer Vakhit Imamov, which was recognized as "extremist" in 2020.
"Hidden History of the Tatars" tells about the uprisings of the Tatars and other peoples of the Volga region in the 16th-18th centuries. The reasons for its ban, among other things, were "calls for the separation of Tatarstan" and the use of the words "Russian yoke", "colonialists" and "punishers" in relation to the Russian authorities of that period.
