Jadidism
Jadidism was a reform movement among the Muslims of the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its name comes from the 'new method' (usul-i jadid) of teaching reading, promoted by the Crimean Tatar Ismail Gasprinski from 1884. The Jadids founded modern schools, newspapers and theatres in Crimea, the Volga region and Central Asia. Many took part in the autonomy movements of 1917, and most were later killed in Stalin's purges.
