The present volume takes up the story with the Russian Revolution of 1917 and carries it through to the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, examining what Lazarev identifies as the most event-dense period in the modern history of the Kurds. Drawing extensively on the Archive of Russian Foreign Policy (AVPR) and other Soviet and published diplomatic sources, the monograph traces the post-October rise of the Kurdish national movement, British colonial planning for Kurdistan in southern Iraq and eastern Anatolia, Sheikh Mahmud Barzinji's uprising of 1919-1920, the diplomatic maneuvering at Paris, San Remo, and Cairo, the short-lived provisions for Kurdish autonomy in the Treaty of Sèvres (1920), and the final liquidation of those provisions at Lausanne (1923) as Kemalist Turkey's position solidified. A separate chapter addresses the Soviet state's principled position on the Kurdish question. Three comprehensive indices (persons, geographical names, ethnic and confessional terms) and an English-language summary extend the volume's utility to non-Russian readers.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume was issued under the prestigious GRWL (Glavnaya Redaktsiya Vostochnoy Literatury) imprint of Nauka, the primary Soviet outlet for Oriental studies monographs, and was edited by Georgy Ilyich Mirsky (1926-2016), the leading Soviet specialist on the Middle East and Third World politics at IMEMO. Published in 1989 with a print run of only 2,600 copies at the very end of the Soviet period, this is an essential reference in the Soviet Kurdological canon, consistently cited in international scholarship on the interwar Kurdish question.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359500693546,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_3794.jpg?v=1778736440","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/lazarev-m-imperialism-and-the-kurdish-question-1917-1923-imperializm-i-kurdskiy-vopros-1989-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
