As Shamil Saitov said, in June 2022 he applied to the Association of of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights as part of the human rights project “Self-determination of peoples through space”: one of the youngest leaders of Tatarstan, 21-year-old Shamil Saitov, asked human rights activists to support his idea of building a Tatar republic in space and self-determination of the Tatars through scientific and technological progress.
According to Shamil Saitov, within a month he created the concept of Bars Lun, and turned to the specialists of the Space Technologies consortium to estimate the cost of creating a lunar city project and the cost of project implementation.

According to Shamil Saitov, according to experts, it costs $30,000 to make a design project for the Bars Lun lunar base and a 3D model of the base. Also, experts from the Space Technologies consortium estimated the cost of the Lunograd project at $35 million. The total cost of building the Bars Lun lunar base will eventually be about 120 billion US dollars. According to experts, the project implementation period from the design of the lunar base to the actual construction will take from 20 to 25 years.
To implement the project, which, according to Shamil Saitov, will allow the Tatar people to find a democratic solution to self-determination in space, the author of the concept turned to businessmen and people who are ready to support Saitov's idea. In his video message, Shamil Saitov offers to join him and benefit all people, all mankind.
