Russia's institutions of learning run by Jadidist numbered over 5,000 in 1916. The Jadidists inspired an Atush based school founded by Bawudun Musabayov and Husayn Musabayov. Jadid like schools were built by the Uyghur Progress Union of Kashgar after 1934. Jadidist leader Gasprinskii inspired Burhan Shahidi. The First East Turkestan Republic in Kashgar's Interior Minister was Yunus Beg, who previously worked with Maqsud Muhiti, a merchant who spread Jadidism in Turfan. Jadid schools were founded in Xinjiang for Chinese Tatars. Jadidist Tatars taught the Uighur Ibrahim Muti'i. The Jadidists popularized the identity of "Turkestani". Pan-Turkist Jadids and East Turkestan independence activists Muhammad Amin Bughra (Mehmet Emin) and Masud Sabri rejected the Soviet imposition of the name "Uyghur" upon the Turkic people of Xinjiang. They wanted instead the name "Turkic ethnicity" to be applied to their people. Masud Sabri also viewed the Hui people as Muslim Han Chinese and separate from his own people. Muhammad Amin Bughra, Shemsiddin Damolla, Abdukerimhan Mehsum, Sabit Damulla Abdulbaki, and Abdulqadir Damolla were all Jadists who took part in the First East Turkestan Republic. In 1913 in Turfan an institution for training teachers in Jadidist methods was founded by Heyder Sayrani, a Tatar, and Mukhsut Muhiti, a local merchant in Turfan.
