Of the proposed works by  25 authors of  Tatar prose Editorial Board selected four works of the three authors. In particular, for inclusion in the Anthology of modern prose Russia’s peoples  the works by f Marcel Galiev "Atilla Ruhy" ( "The Spirit of Attila"), Rustem Galiullin "Ata hyam Ul" ( "Father and Son") and the "Divana" ( "Fool"),   by  Nabirya Gimatdinova "Kilyachek" ( "Future"). Voting for these personalities was unanimous.

Farid Mukhametshin instructed the Ministry of Culture and the Academy of Sciences of the Republic carefully work on translations of literary works of Tatar literature, since they will be published in Russian language. It is important to take into account the position and the author and the translator, because translation  is also  a creative process,  head of parliament noted.

The publication of three anthologies - one of the tasks of the federal program to support the national languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation. Perhaps in the future it will be also decided on the publication of anthologies of modern drama and contemporary journalism of  Russia’s peoples.
