This section of the guide to Russian newspapers in the Library of Congress collections includes newspapers from the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. For newspapers from cities of the Russian parts of the Caucasus, see the section in this guide for Other Regions of Russia. The collection includes newspapers from the imperial, revolutionary, Soviet, and contemporary periods, as long as the titles are entirely or partially published in the Russian language. For newspapers from these countries in non-Russian languages, please consult the Library of Congress Online Catalog or write to the African and Middle Eastern Reading Room for assistance. Newspapers are organized alphabetically by country and then city of publication (in parentheses) and then by title. The arrangement follows English, not Cyrillic, alphabetical order.

Entries may provide the following information: title; subtitle, call number for the Library of Congress collection; the dates of publication if known; the location of the newspaper within the Library of Congress; detailed holdings for each title by format under the tag LC Has ; the language of publication if it is not Russian; a bibliographic source (either printed or online) used to verify publication data; links to freely available digital editions; databases in which the newspaper appears; links to the current website if available; various notes with additional information.
