Welcome!

Your assignment is to write a 25- to 30-page original research paper on some aspect of modern Russian and Soviet history.

Use this guide as a starting point to find both print and online materials for your research. Because your paper topic will likely cover multiple subjects, you may also want to explore guides such as those for Political Science, Sociology, Feminist Studies, World History and, of course, Slavic and Eastern European Studies. The complete list of the Library subject guides is here.
