Template:Expand Russian Template:Infobox coat of arms Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) or Ak Bars (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is an ancient Bulgar symbol, which has served as the official symbol of the Republic of Tatarstan since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 7 February 1992. Its name is translated literally as Template:Gloss, and it typically refers to the snow leopard.
Historically, this symbol was used in Volga Bulgaria and the Khanate of Kazan (Qazan) – predecessors of Tatarstan – as a state symbol. The snow leopard symbol comes from the totems of one of the Bulgar tribes – the Barsil. According to legend, the Barsils founded Bilär in Volga Bulgaria.
The creator of the current emblem is the artist Rif Fäxretdinov (Риф Фәхретдинов).
