The Phenomenon of Jadidism in Russian Religious Culture at the Turn of the 19th-20th Centuries
This article is an attempt to study the phenomenon of Jadidism in the Russian religious culture of the late XIX - early XX centuries. Under the influence of global Islamic reformism, as well as the ideas of Russian religious philosophy, the modernist movement of Jadidism is being formed in the domestic Islamic environment, which is the result of the struggle of domestic national Muslim communities for religious and cultural identity. At the same time, Jadidism, which began with the reform of the system of Muslim education in Russia, is developing into a “special kind of mental and cultural movement”, the purpose of which is to modernize the national cultural traditions of domestic Muslims through rapprochement with the European system of values with the preservation of the Islamic faith. Against the background of the revolutionary events of 1917 in Russia, domestic Islamic modernism is being modified under the influence of political ideas of the early twentieth century. In general, the phenomenon of Jadidism can be designated as a special cultural and religious phenomenon of Islam, aimed at bringing Muslim fundamental religious values closer to the secular European culture.
