Open Access Resources for Research in Soviet History

As more and more archival resources are made freely available on various research, government and private websites in Russia, it became necessary to compile a list of those resources for the needs of teaching and research in Soviet history. This need became especially evident under the circumstances of severely limited access to information imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please find our list of open access resources for research in Soviet History here:

Digital Handbook for Research on Soviet History

Please note that the project is still underway and visit the link frequently to see new additions.

If you know a site that should be on this list but is not there yet, please suggest it, using this form. Many thanks in advance!
