I am an Egyptian citizen and I am planning a flight from Kazan (Tatarstan) via Istanbul (transfer at the airport 5 hours) to Hurghada, do I need to apply for a Turkish visa for this?

If you are self-connecting in Istanbul you will need a visa. Transit without a visa is permitted subject to the following conditions:
From Timatic
Passengers transiting through Ankara (ESB), Antalya (AYT), Istanbul: Metropolitan Area (IST) and Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), or Izmir (ADB) with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country within 24 hours. They must stay in the international transit area of the airport and have documents required for the next destination.
TWOV in Antalya (AYT) does not apply when transiting between terminals 1 and 2.
