TheYoung Bukharans (Persian:جوانبخارائیان;Uzbek:Yosh buxoroliklar) orMladobukharans were a secret society founded inBukhara in 1909, which was part of thejadidist movement seeking to reform and modernizeCentral Asia along Western-scientific lines.
In March 1918 they tried to seize power in Bukhara, with help from theTashkent Soviet, and the Young Bukharans had to flee from the Emir,Mohammed Alim Khan to Tashkent. They returned in May 1920, and this time were successful: theRed Army took Bukhara and the Young Bukharans formed the first government of theBukharan People's Soviet Republic. Most of the members werepurged during 1936–1938.
Young Khivans and Young Bukharans inspired the Kashgar 1933Association of Independence.[1]
