The modern Tatar literature is in the development now, in active artistic search, aimed at more full reflection of modern reality.

The modern Tatar literature actively cooperates with Russian literature and literature of the peoples of Russia, especially with the literature of the peoples of the Volga region, making thereby a significant contribution to the all-Russian literary process. For example, the novels and stories by the Tatar writers F. Sadriev, F. Safin, A. Ghaffar, A. Bayanov, R. Karami, N. Gimatdinova, G. Gilmanov, M. Malikova are devoted to understanding of the critical and controversial issues of modern society.
