Résumé anglais Sherali Turdiev, Russian Security Police, Tatar schoolmasters, and the jadid movement in Turkestan. For several years Tashkent searchers had free access to Okhrana and KGB Turkestan Archives, which contributed to the change induced in the memory of Muslim reformism in Uzbekistan as well as in the way the Russian political police is perceived through its successive phases, from colonization until the Stalin purges. The new source material thus provided made it a duty to rectify the image of some of the modernist literate and intellectual figures in Turkestan and the Protectorates. Depicted by Marxist critics as Europeanized bourgeois not so long ago, they appear, unveiled, as Muslim scholars descended from ulemas' families endowed with landed properties. Such "new" sources enable us to better estimate the influence exerted on local reformism — through schools, newspapers, literature, theater or the Opera...— by the main centers of modern Muslim culture, i.e. Tatar towns in Central Russia in the second half of the nineteenth century. But it goes without saying that documents of that sort provide information on the way security forces in the Empire and, generally, Russians in Turkestan gauged the social and cultural development of the Muslim community in the region. It is noteworthy that great continuity of views and methods passed from the tsarist administration to the Soviet-Russian apparatus which was set up throughout the southern part of Central Asia from 1922-1923 onwards.
