Egad! I was in Kazan in December. Kazan is awesome. Don't diss Kazan. Tatarstan, represent!

Never been, but I've heard echpochmak tastes pretty nice! And Folk Metal bands from Tatarstan are pretty top-notch.

It has that beautiful mosque and cathedral in the Kremlin, and also Lenin's house museum, where you can see where teenage Lenin slept! But seriously, I like Kazan a lot. I started studying Tatar, but gave it up pretty quickly.
