The Kreshens (perverted Russian word “baptized”) is the ethnographic group of Kazan Tatars. They are the descendants of Tatars, who were forced to Orthodoxy in the sixteenth to the eighteenth century.
They live predominantly in Tatarstan. They speak the same language as Kazan Tatars do and share their culture. They are mainly distinguished by Russian names and surnames.
