On 30 August 1990, Tatarstan announced its sovereignty as the Tatar Soviet Socialist Republic. On 21 March 1992, Tatarstan held a referendum on the new constitution, and 62 percent of those who took part voted in favor of the constitution. The 1992 constitution defined Tatarstan as a sovereign state, but both the referendum and constitution were declared unconstitutional by the Russian Constitutional Court. In 2002, a new constitution defined Tatarstan as a part of the Russian Federation.

On 20 December 2008, in response to Russia recognizing the separatist states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the Milli Mejlis of the Tatar People declared Tatarstan independent and sought United Nations recognition. Both Russia and the United Nations ignored this declaration of independence, and on 24 July 2017, the autonomy agreement signed in 1994 between Moscow and Kazan expired, making Tatarstan the last republic of Russia to lose its special status.
