Chornobyl': Newspapers Collection is a small suite of collections comprised of three previously unavailable local newspapers (Tribuna Energetika, Prapor peremogy, and Trybuna pratsi) published in towns in the exclusion zone and its immediate vicinity offering researchers essential information for the study of the social background of the Chornobyl' disaster. While Prapor peremogy and Trybuna pratsi provide readers with an opportunity to explore the larger socio-cultural and historical context of the regions affected by the Chornobyl' disaster, Tribuna Energetika, published under the aegis of the Chornobyl' Nuclear Power Plant, invites researchers to explore the everyday life in the plant and the city of Prip'yat' more generally. As such researchers are provided with a unique access to some of the most important and less known primary sources from the era encapsulating the voices, concerns and experiences of the victims up until the catastrophe.

A popular weekly writing on all subjects in plain language. Boasts the biggest circulation among Russian weeklies.

Founded in 1991, Estoniia (Эстония, Estonia) was a popular Russian-language broadsheet newspaper published in Tallin. Established on the basis and the support of the editorial team of the defunct newspaper Sovetskaia Estonia soon after the Estonian declaration of independence, Estonia was one of the earliest privately owned newspapers in the country. Modeled after popular Western newspapers, it was dedicated to covering domestic and foreign politics, the economy, culture, the arts, and literature. After experiencing steady growth and the financial backing of the controversial businessman Vitaly Khaitov, the newspaper increased its profile and publishing portfolio, changing its name to Vesti dnia. Due to financial difficulties and increased competition the newspaper ceased publication in 2009.

Gudok is a Russian daily newspaper in continuous publication since 1917 and is one of the oldest and leading trade newspapers in Russia. Since its inception it has covered a wide range of topics dealing with the railway industry. It has also provided important commentary on Soviet and post-Soviet Russian culture, politics, and social life. Its primary purpose has been informing the general Soviet and subsequently Russian reader with the larger goings on in the country in combination with a mix of biting social commentary and satire, one of the newspapers most popular features.

Although its name and more importantly its affiliation with the Soviet Ministry of Transportation may suggest a rather boring undertaking, it could not be further from the truth. And despite the fact that it started as a small newspaper dealing primarily with industry news, over time due to its growing popularity it became a nationally distributed newspaper attracting top talent from the burgeoning Soviet literary scene.

Among the longest-running Russian newspapers, Izvestiia was founded in March 1917 and during the Soviet period was the official organ of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Remarkable for its serious and balanced treatment of subject matter, Izvestiia has traditionally been a popular news source within intellectual and academic circles.

During the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks seized control of Petrograd and precipitated the Russian Civil War (1917-1923). As part of their effort to curb imperial influence, the Bolsheviks closed the newspaper Sanktpeterburgskiia Viedomosti, which had been founded by Peter the Great in 1702.
After Pravda was relocated to Moscow in 1918, Petrogradskaia Pravda was established to function as the official organ of the local Communist Party committees and soviets. During this time, it covered events such as the Polish-Soviet War (1918-1921) and the establishment of the Soviet Union (1922).
Following Lenin’s death in 1924, Petrograd was renamed Leningrad—and the title was subsequently renamed Leningradskaia Pravda.
Leningradskaia Pravda is perhaps best known for continuously publishing during the Siege of Leningrad (1941-1944), during which time only a single issue did not appear. Following World War II, the title covered the trials and executions of Nazis who committed atrocities during the siege.
Leningradskaia Pravda continued to publish through the second half of the twentieth century, during which time the publication was awarded the Order of Lenin for its revolutionary merits. Following the August 1991 Soviet coup attempt, the newspaper ceased publication.
The Leningradskaia Pravda Digital Archive is a valuable resource for scholars of history, politics, sociology, and Slavic studies. It also represents a valuable historical preservation project and may be of interest to institutions that study war, genocide, and the Holocaust.

Established on April 22, 1929 with the support of the father of Soviet literature, writer Maxim Gorky, Literaturnaia gazeta is a landmark publication in Russia's cultural heritage. With its focus on literary and intellectual life, Literaturnaia gazeta allowed Soviet Russias preeminent authors, poets, and cultural figures a particular podium for commentary, affording perhaps fewer restrictions than might be possible in other publications. Literaturnaia gazeta was considered the most open among newspapers of the Soviet era, and it remains popular among the intelligentsia in todays Russia. Publication of Literaturnaia gazeta was completely suspended in 1942 and 1943 in 1944, only 8 issues were published.

Moscow News (pub. 1930-2014) was the oldest English-language newspaper in Russia and, arguably, the newspaper with the longest democratic history. From a mouthpiece of the Communist party to an influential advocate for social and political change, the pages of Moscow News reflect the shifting ideological, political, social and economic currents that have swept through the Soviet Union and Russia in the last century. The Moscow News Digital Archive contains all obtainable published issues (1930-2014, approx. 60,000 pages), including issues of the newspaper??s short-lived sister publication Moscow Daily News (1932-1938). The Moscow News Digital Archive offers scholars the most comprehensive collection available for this title, and features full page-level digitization, complete original graphics, and searchable text, and is cross-searchable with numerous other East View digital resources.

Established in 1960, Nedelia (Неделя, The Week) began as a Sunday supplement to Izvestiia under the editorship of Aleksey Adzhubey, the son in law of the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. At the height of its popularity Nedelia claimed up to two million copies in weekly circulation and was available for distribution only through newspaper kiosks on Sundays, eschewing the traditional subscription model. A pioneering publication, it was one of the very few Soviet periodicals that kept the official Communist Party propaganda to a minimum, covering instead cultural, social, and political happenings with a certain degree of lightheartedness, which perhaps was the main reason behind its popularity. Rivalled only by the popularity of Ogonek, Nedelia regularly featured works by renowned Soviet writers, journalists, and photographers. One of the most popular columns of the newspaper was “Guests of page 13,” that regularly featured interviews with popular Soviet stars and celebrities. The newspaper ceased publication in 1999.

Novaia gazeta (Новая газета, The New Newspaper) is a popular independent Moscow newspaper known for critical investigative reporting, working to expose corruption, abuse of power and violation of laws amongst the government and main financial structures of modern Russia. Launched in 1993, the newspaper has published under the title of Novaia ezhednevnaia gazeta (Новая ежедневная газета, The New Daily Newspaper) and Novaia gazeta ponedel’nik (Новая газета понедельник, The New Newspaper Monday). One constant, however, has been Novaia gazeta’s consistent reporting on a variety of contentious issues, including corruption and war crimes in Chechnya, human rights violations, persecution of LGBTQ+ activists, torture practices in Russian prisons, and murders of political opponents. Sometimes referred to as “Russia’s bravest media outlet,” Novaia gazeta has had several of its journalists assassinated in their line of work, including Yuri Shchekochikhin, Anna Politkovskaia, Natalia Estemirova, Stanislav Markelov, and Anastasia Baburova. More recently, the newspaper was recognized for its efforts to defend and promote free speech with the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Novaia gazeta’s co-founder and editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov.

Novoe Russkoe Slovo (New Russian Word) was first published in 1910 in New York under the founding editorship of the Russian émigré journalist and writer Ivan Okuntsov, who served as editor until 1917. Published initially with pro-Communist leanings, the newspaper underwent nominal and ideological changes a decade later establishing itself as the premier newspaper of the Russian émigré community in New York and beyond. In the 1920s the newspaper grew in stature and popularity. Contributing to the growth was the increasing wave of émigrés, many prominent intellectuals among them, in search of better fortunes in Europe and the United States after the Bolshevik revolution. Writers and journalists such as A. Vetlugin, George Grebenstchikoff, Aleksei Fovitsky in the US and Ivan Bunin, Don Aminado, Arkady Averchenko from Europe among others became regular writers for NRS. Along with publishing emigre authors, the newspaper began republishing Soviet authors as well, connecting the information-hungry Russian community with the goings on in the far off motherland.
The paper experienced its true height of popularity during WWII and the immediate aftermath. No longer counting on émigré writers and publicists, the community had begun producing homegrown talent who thought and wrote stylistically in a very different manner than their first-generation immigrant predecessors with many of them cutting their journalistic and literary teeth on the pages of the newspaper. The third wave of immigration from the Soviet Union in 1970s brought with it a new infusion of talent into the New York Russian community. Positioning itself as the premier immigrant publication, and certainly the most sophisticated, the paper soon became a lively forum for a varied group of authors, both old and new, under the editorial leadership of Andrey Sedykh, the erstwhile personal secretary of Ivan Bunin, the famed Nobel Prize winner for literature. Due to financial difficulties and other less direct factors the oldest Russian language periodical in North America ceased publication a century after it was first established, in 2010.

Poliarnaia kochegarka (Полярная кочегарка, Polar Furnace, 1934-1988; renamed Shakhter Arktiki [Шахтер Арктики, The Arctic Miner], 1989-1991) was an in-house weekly newspaper published in Barentsburg by the Soviet/Russian state-owned mining trust Arktikugol, which began operating on the Svalbard archipelago in 1931. The constant Soviet/Russian presence in this Norwegian territory was made possible by the so-called Svalbard (Spitsbergen) Treaty, which allows its signatories (currently more than forty countries) to engage freely in economic and research activities on the archipelago. During the Cold War, this led to the curious case of citizens of NATO and Warsaw pact countries coexisting peacefully side by side, with the Iron Curtain partially suspended (if not altogether lifted) in the otherwise potentially volatile and jealously guarded Arctic North.
Arktikugol was established to supply the Russian North with coal from Svalbard to help power the ambitious Soviet industrialization program. Poliarnaia kochegarka was created first and foremost to hold together the Russian-speaking mining community on Svalbard, which at various times was divided among the three Soviet settlements of Barentsburg, Pyramiden and Grumant. The newspaper also served to keep local citizens abreast of the news from the Soviet mainland and the rest of the world, something that used to be out of reach for several months each year (except for radio communication) when ice conditions and polar nights made navigation virtually impossible.
Poliarnaia kochegarka covered numerous topics of interest to its target audience, such as local and world politics and social problems, Svalbard’s history in the context of polar exploration and research, mining history and technology, coal production pledges, health and safety, tertiary education, Arctic tourism, Soviet-Norwegian relations, wildlife, fiction, poetry, memoirs, and more.Among the newspaper’s contributors were both amateur and professional journalists, with early instances of citizen journalism playing a considerable role in the coverage of all sorts of burning issues pertinent to life in the polar regions in general, and Svalbard in particular. As the standard employment contract in the region lasted for two years, it is interesting to observe changes in the newspaper’s style from one editor-in-chief to the next. Among such editors-in-chief were the well-known Erzya author Nikolai Irkaev (1934-1937) and the prominent Murmansk journalist Stanislav Dashchinskii (1967-1969). This digital archive contains the most complete collection available for this title, with over 4,000 issues total of Poliarnaia kochegarka and Shakhter Arktiki (excluding 1941-1947, when the publication was suspended).

Search through the full text of the chief chronicle of Russian and Soviet history in the 20th century, from the beginnings of the Russian Revolution through World War II, the Cold War, and the fall of the Soviet Union. Kommunisticheskaia partiia Rossiiskoi Federatsii is the official organ of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and is published by Zhurnalistskaia organizatsiia Pravdy.

Founded in 1990 by the government of the Russian Federation, Rossiiskaia gazeta (Российская газета, Russian Newspaper) is a Russian newspaper of public record based in Moscow with 13 regional offices, and foreign bureaus in the US, France, the UK, Germany and elsewhere. Boasting a nationwide circulation, the newspaper covers domestic and foreign news, economics, culture, sports, and governmental affairs. As an official newspaper, its editorial policy reflects the government’s policy on any given issue, although it also frequently publishes commentaries and opinions that differ from official government positions. The newspaper also features interviews with influential Russian politicians, business, and cultural figures. Rossiiskaia gazetais an authoritative source of official government policy and an important venue of official commentary on laws and regulations enacted by the Russian legislature. With a daily print run of more than 180,000 and a large online presence, Rossiiskaia gazeta serves as the go-to media outlet for government related news and official communiques and notices.

Kultura (Culture) is an important Russian weekly newspaper previously published under the titles Rabochii i iskusstvo (1929-1930), Sovetskoe iskusstvo (1931-1941), Literatura i iskusstvo (1942-1944), Sovetskoe iskusstvo (1944-1952) and Sovetskaia kultura (1953-1991). In 1944, only 8 issues of Sovetskoe iskusstvo were published. The lack of database content for this period is not a gap, but reflects the publication schedule during these challenging years.

The Sovetskaia Kultura Digital Archive is an indispensable source of information on the developing and ever changing attitudes towards arts and culture in Soviet and Russian societies. Throughout the years, major events in Russian cultural life, literature, theater, cinematography and the arts were reviewed. During the Soviet period, critical diatribes against dissident writers such as Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn, Aksyonov and others were published, as were infamous articles condemning modern art exhibitions, chastizing avant-guard composers and abstract painters. In modern Russia, Kul'tura's reviews and event listings often focus on the cultural life of Moscow and regions. It is known for its topical commentaries on popular culture and politics.

Founded in 1921 in Moscow, Trud (Труд, Labor) was an influential Soviet newspaper and the official organ of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions. Among the earliest Soviet newspapers with a countrywide circulation, it attracted some of the most important journalists and writers in the USSR. Among its regular contributors were such notable poets as Vladimir Mayakovsky and Yevgeny Yevtushenko. Although the newspaper was dedicated to covering issues concerning labor relations in the Soviet Union, economic analysis, the plight of workers in foreign countries, and the proliferation of official pronouncements, its more popular component attracted audiences from a broader pool of readers. At the height of the Gorbachev-era reforms the newspaper, like many others, would abandon its usual propagandistic bombast ensuring its growing popularity and catapulting its circulation to well over 20 million. With the demise of the Soviet Union and the emergence of new publications in post-Soviet Russia that competed for readers from Trud’s targeted audiences, the popularity of the newspaper subsided, although it has retained some of its former reputation as a reliable source for news and popular culture reportage. Please note: this newspaper archive is also accessible within the East View Global Press Archive and can be accessed on the Global Press Archive platform, which allows interoperability with a large number of global newspaper titles.

Founded in 1924 in Ashgabat, Turkmenskaia iskra (Туркменская искра, The Turkmen Spark, a derivative of the Vladimir Lenin founded newspaper Iskra) was a Russian-language broadsheet newspaper and the official party organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Turkmenistan. As a republican newspaper of record, it was responsible for proliferating the Soviet central government’s, as well as the local administration’s, public announcements and pronouncements, party deliberations, policy initiatives, etc., reflecting the government’s positions on a wide variety of issues. As one of the most widely circulated and influential Turkmen newspapers of its time, it also regularly featured columns dedicated to sports, local culture, literature, and the arts.

Founded in 1995 V Novom Svete (In the New World) , ISSN 1089-1420, was the most popular weekly newspaper in the Russian-American community for 27 years. The idea of its inception was simple: new immigrants wanted to read “hot” content produced by then free press in Russia and they needed guidance to start a new life in America. The fourth wave of immigration from the former USSR began in the late 80s. The only professional newspaper read by Russian ex-pats then was a daily Novoe Russkoe Slovo. Most of its content in the 90s was produced by local journalists, who often suffered from inbreeding, while journalism in Russia offered much juicier stories. Sensationalism was a new trend. Positioning itself as a publication for elites Novoe Russkoe Slovo was often detached from the problems that newcomers struggled with.

The first issue of V Novom Svete was published on March 10, 1995, right after a prominent journalist, Vladislav Listiev, was killed in Russia. Tapping into readers’ interests V Novom Svete found a formula for success: it combined reprints from Moskovskii Komsomolets with original stories written by American Russian speaking authors. Very soon it became the most popular Russian language weekly and the only publication that was sold nationwide. Famous Russian journalists such as Alexander Minkin, Mark Deutch, Alexander Khinshtein, Stanislav Belkovsky, Matvey Ganapolsky, Svetlana Khokhryakova, Alexander Melman and others were published in the pages of V Novom Svete. Legendary journalist Melor Sturua, who worked for Izvestia’s Bureaus in New York and Washington during the Cold War was one of the major columnists writing for V Novom Svete after he permanently moved to the US.

Strong analytical and cultural content contributed to the growing popularity of the publication in the early 2000s. Alexandra Sviridova’s exclusive interview with future Editor-in-Chief of Russian Forbes, Paul Khlebnikov, who was later killed in Moscow, was one of many memorable articles created by the team of American journalists. In 2004 V Novom Svete became a winner of US Independent Press Association awards for Best Editorial and Best Graphic Design. After Novoe Russkoe Slovo went out of business in 2010, V Novom Svete became the only newspaper on the market producing quality Russian language journalism. Writers publishing in the pages of V Novom Svete also worked for such prestigious outlets as BBC, Russian Forbes, Voice of America and Radio Liberty. During Covid-19 pandemic many small businesses that advertised in the publication were shut down and subsequently never recovered. After 27 years despite stable dedicated readership due to financial difficulties V Novom Svete decided to end its print edition. The last issue of V Novom Svete was published on May 6, 2022.

The newspaper Za vozvrashchenie na Rodinu (Return to Motherland) was established in April 1955 in East Berlin as a biweekly publication. The newspaper was published by the Soviet Repatriation Committee, which was also established in 1955 and stayed active until 1958. The newspaper was principally aimed at Russian emigrants and was an important anti-western propaganda outlet for the USSR. The main objective of the newspaper was the creation of a favorable image of the Soviet Union and the criticism of émigré organizations in the post-war period and during the Cold War. The newspaper was published under the watchful eye of the KGB, and only the most loyal Soviet officials were allowed to work on this project.

The present database contains all issues published under the title Za vozvrashchenie na Rodinu, from its very first issue in April of 1955 to the third issue in 1960. Starting with 1960: issue 04, the newspaper's name was changed to Golos Rodiny (The Voice of the Motherland). During its publication, the newspaper was not available to the public on a subscription basis, and therefore it has become a rare information resource.

All available issues of this title have been digitized by East View Information Services and are now available in full-image format with searchable text.

Founded in Moscow in 1990 by noted Soviet journalist Alexander Prokhanov, Den’ (День, The Day) was created to serve as the “spiritual opposition” to the pro-Western government of Yeltsin. Following the coup in 1993, the paper was shut down by the authorities but was reborn as Zavtra (Завтра, Tomorrow), with Prokhanov still in the lead as editor in chief. One of the most influential publications of the right-wing opposition, Zavtra is a radical-conservative daily newspaper, bringing together a mix of nationalism, monarchism, and nostalgia for the Soviet era. Prokhanov has a very colorful personality, and his speeches and writings are poetic and full of metaphors. At a Slavic conference in the US – as a guest of East View – he surprised many during his presentation by asserting that “state borders are not static, they are pulsating – back and forth.” Prokhanov is one of the few Russian citizens to receive an award from North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, and he also received a medal “For the Liberation of Crimea and Sevastopol” in 2014 from Putin himself. The newspaper is a reflection of Prokhanov himself, a self-proclaimed “counter-liberal,” well known as a radical pro-imperial, nationalist figure and a neo-Stalinist. Just as he supported the failed military coup in 1991, the war in Chechnya, and aggression against Georgia in 2008, Zavtra has likewise been an ardent supporter of these actions, as well as the Crimea annexation, the war in Donbas, and the current war in Ukraine.

Founded in 1949, the Current Digest was first published as The Current Digest of the Soviet Press (1949-1991), followed by The Current Digest of the Post-Soviet Press (1992-2010), and now The Current Digest of the Russian Press. Each week the Current Digest presents a selection of Russian-language press materials, carefully translated into English. The translations are intended for use in teaching and research. They are therefore presented as documentary materials without elaboration or comment, and state the opinions and views of the original authors, not of the publisher of the journal.

As the United States' principal historical record of political open source intelligence for more than half a century, the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) Daily Report is an indispensable source for insights into decades of turbulent world history. The original mission of the FBIS was to monitor, record, transcribe and translate intercepted radio broadcasts from foreign governments, official news services, and clandestine broadcasts from occupied territories. Accordingly, it provides a wealth of information from all countries outside of the U.S.—from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. FBIS Daily Reports, 1941-1996 constitutes a one-of-a-kind archive of transcripts of foreign broadcasts and news that provides fascinating insight into the second half of the 20th century. Many of these materials are firsthand reports of events as they occurred. Digitized from original paper copy and high-quality microfilm, this definitive online collection features full-text transcripts from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, China, Eastern and Western Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the Soviet Union. Fully searchable for the first time, this unique digital collection features individual bibliographic records for each report and highlighted events to assist researchers. Like the Reports themselves, FBIS Daily Report Annexes offers international, national and local perspectives on historical events from thousands of monitored broadcasts and publications. Created by the U.S. intelligence community to benefit analysts and policy makers, Annexes were "For Official Use Only." Although a very small number of copies may have found their way into the Government Documents collections of some libraries, no institution outside of the Central Intelligence Agency holds all of the records. These previously unavailable transcripts provide views on Middle East crises and negotiations, the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the secret acquisition of radar systems by the People's Republic of China, and much more.
