The Jadids were Muslim reformers in the Russian Empire, especially among the Tatars of the Volga region, Crimea and Central Asia, who argued for educational and cultural renewal. The name comes from usul-i jadid, the new method of teaching, which was introduced in schools by the Crimean Tatar thinker Ismail Gasprinski, who also published the newspaper Tercuman. The reformers wanted modern subjects such as science and geography alongside religion, and they promoted literacy, a simplified written language and the rights of women. They faced opposition from conservative clergy as well as from the Russian authorities. After the revolutions of 1917 many Jadids took part in national movements and later fell victim to Soviet repression.
