| | Raphael Khakimov. Prospects of Federalism in Russia: A View from Tatarstan. |
 | | Tatarstan has come out in favor of a flexible policy of the Federal government, one not based on abstract egalitarian principles but oriented towards the ethnic and historical peculiarities of the regions. | | | The interest of Tatarstan citizens in all-Russia political events was steadily going down, threatening to isolate Tatarstan political processes from the political life of Russia. | | | The religious factor is also salient in foreign policy: for instance, the stand of Tatarstan's leadership and general public on the Bosnian problem differs from the official position of Russia's Foreign Ministry. |

| | Critics say the new wording -- which describes Tatarstan as a subject of the Russian Federation -- further erodes what relative freedom the republic gained from the federal center during the 1990s. | | | That treaty secured Tatarstan powers beyond those enjoyed by Russia's other autonomous republics and reflected the republic's relative importance -- it has large oil, gas, and coal deposits and Russia's oil and gas pipelines run through it -- as well as political sensitivities. | | | Members argue the new constitution calls into question the results of the 1992 referendum that strengthened Kazan's hand in its bid for more freedom from Moscow. |
