E. I. USTINOV Candidate of Historical Sciences Keywords: Syrian crisis, ethno-confessional structure, socio-political dynamics, destabilization of the ethno-confessional balance The multidimensional nature of transformational political processes in the Arab world dictates the urgent need for their careful study and analysis.
