The sense of today's event, I think, is quite clear - the Russian scientists wanted to emphasize their participation to those feelings and moods, which are experienced today by inhabitants of Tatarstan (including scientific community of the Republic) in connection with two significant events - anniversary of the Great Victory and the 1000-anniversary of Kazan, - noted Nikolai Plate opening the session.

It is symbolical that Kazan with its richest history and intellectual potential became the city where such a representative meeting is held, - Mintimer Shaimiev said welcoming the Russian scientists. - we perceive it as a tribute to famous scientific traditions of Tatarstan, as a recognition of its modern achievements in the field of science and education.
