At the exhibition, the audience can see a picture from the funds of Bolgar Museum-Reserve “The battle for Great Bolgar” painted by I. S. Aidarov in 2014. Ilyas Saiyarovich Aidarov was born on 29 January 1956 in Kazan. He has a number of social and professional awards including the medal «In memory of the 1000th anniversary of Kazan» and honorary titles “Honored Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan” and “People’s Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan”.
His work presented at the exhibition is made in the painting technique. The picture “The battle for Great Bolgar” sends the viewer back to the past of Tatarstan, to the middle ages. The painting depicts a military action. In the foreground, the khan of Golden Horde calling for hostilities and archers can be seen. This picture was chosen because armament and military affairs of people in Volga Bulgaria during the Middle Ages were a bright and original phenomenon in the history of martial arts of East Europe representing a fusion of some heterogeneous and diverse elements. This is largely due to the geographic location of Volga Bulgaria whose military organization was influenced by military equipment from different regions of Eurasia and developed its own original system of military affairs.
The exhibition will last until November 15, 2021.
