Zakir Ramiev

Zakir Sadíq ulı Rämiev (1859–1921, Tatar: Закир Садыйк улы Рәмиев , Russian: Закир Садыкович Рамеев, Zakir Ramiyev) who used the pen name Därdemänd or Derdmend (Tatar: Дәрдмәнд, ) was a famous Tatar poet, manufacturer and patron of arts. He was a founder of the newspaper Vakit (Waqıt) and the literary magazine Şura.

He is a major representative of classical Tatar literature. Because he came from an affluent family of the tzarist regime, he was persecuted by the Soviet administration and intentionally ignored as a poet, and his name and works were deleted from literary histories. His father was Muhammed Sadiq Rameev, the well-known gold-miner of the Ural Mountains.
