Fayaz Sh. Khusin, a well-known specialist in medieval archaeology, Doctor of Historical Sciences, turned 65 in August 2016. The article offers some a few landmarks in his biography and scientific activities. His primary academic interests were: archaeology and history of the Volga Bulgaria, Jochi’s Ulus and Kazan Khanate. His research of Bilyar fortified settlement and Kazan Kremlin deserves special attention. Recently, Fayaz Sh. Khusin has addressed some more general issues of archaeology and history of the Tatars’ ancestors, starting from the early Iron Age, and their role in shaping the ethno-cultural space in the Volga-Ural region. He also actively contributes to protection of historical and cultural sites in Tatarstan.
