Oriented on making people closer

The final of the International contest “Tatar Kızı-2025” was held in Orenburg. About 30 girls from different regions of the country and the world took part, and 12 beauties reached the final — from Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Krasnodar Krai, Moscow city, Moscow, Orenburg, Penza, Tyumen regions, as well as from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye, and Turkmenistan.

For a week, the contestants lived in Kazan: they practiced singing, choreography, artistic expression, and met with prominent women of Tatarstan.

The final took place on the stage of the “Gazovik” Palace of Culture and Sports in Orenburg. The 12 finalists performed songs and dances, presented creative numbers, and spoke about national traditions. In the end, victory went to 25-year-old Alsu Rafikova from Turkmenistan. She was awarded a passing crown, a traditional Tatar ornament called khasite, and a “Lada-Granta” car.

Alsu Rafikova works as a chemistry teacher at School No. 7 in Dashoguz. Since her youth, she has been passionate about dancing, and at her school she organizes cultural events with songs and dances for her students. — “For the Tatar people, family is the foundation of life, the source of spiritual warmth and upbringing. A person’s spiritual world is first formed in the family, where the first habits, the native language, and traditions are absorbed. I can proudly call myself a Tatar, because my family has preserved this Tatar atmosphere, no matter how far we are from our historical homeland. Speaking about the contest, I believe that all the finalists deserve the honorary title of ‘Tatar Kızı-2025’, because all of them are exceptionally talented, beautiful, and sociable,” — said the winner, Alsu Rafikova.

It should be added that the contest is organized by the World Congress of Tatars and the “Tatar Kızı” Directorate with the support of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan, reports 56.ru.
