The Ethnonym "Kyrgyz"

For a proper understanding of the ethnic processes that led to the formation of the Kyrgyz nationality, the interpretation of the question regarding the ethnonym "Kyrgyz" holds significant importance.

One of the largest Soviet Orientalists, Academician V. V. Bartold, classified the Kyrgyz among the ancient peoples of Central Asia.

Years of Hard Work Devoted to Watercolor by R. Nudel
