Abstract
The Russian scientific community pays great attention to the topic of the Syrian crisis. However, in that context, the issue of the functioning of the Kurdish unrecognized self-proclaimed autonomy remains practically ignored. In general, books on the Kurdish cause have become a rarity for Russian historiography. Therefore, the presented article deals with the unique work of its kind, as well as with the problematics that were posed in the monograph. In a relatively short review, it is quite difficult to cover in detail all aspects of the presented research, because almost every one of the indicated topics could become the subject of a full-fledged study. Therefore, the author has selected individual plots, which, in his opinion, seem to be the most significant and interesting in the issue of the phenomenon of the functioning of the Kurdish autonomy functioning.
