Abstract. The article represents documents in the Crimean Tatar and Turkish languages, preserved among the papers of the Crimean Tatar public activist, deputy of the Second State Duma Abdureshid Mediev (1880–1912).

Aivazov; Ali A Tarpi; Muhammad Tukayev; Muham­mad-bek Khadzhetlashe; Ahmed Saib Kaplan; Hassan Nuri, etc.). Among A. Mediev’s papers there are documents of other persons in Turkish and Crimean Tatar: by A. Aivazov “Reform of Islamism”; the rules for the election of the Mufti and Qadiasker by the Taurida Mohammedan Spiritual Board etc. The originals of several legal documents from the era of the Crimean Khanate are of great interest.
