Russian Regional Newspapers (1991-
)
SEEMP is collaborating with East
View Information Services to film a representative sample
of newspapers published in Russian cities outside Moscow
and St. Petersburg. SEEMP has filmed 16 titles since 1991,
with the addition of 6 additional titles beginning in 2000.
These papers present local perspectives on national affairs
as well as news of local events largely absent in national
press in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
As scholars turn more and more to local studies, these newspapers
will provide invaluable research materials.
