Founded in May 2010,[2] the newspaper aims to provide English-language summaries of local news developments within Tatarstan from a foreign viewpoint and also covers local business and sports developments. It also serves as a voice for Kazan's expatriate community and includes sections on foreign opinions of Tatarstan and its politics as well as news on expatriate life. The Kazan Herald' maintains a regularly updated website and releases a print version once a month.

In November 2010, The Kazan Herald was presented with an award for English-language media at the Tatarstan Republican Youth Forum, as a part of the Republic's growing interest in improving English-language proficiency before Kazan's hosting of the Universiade in 2013.[3]
