These were some of the comments that the first edition of The Post-Soviet
Handbook received after its first publication in 1996. The Revised
Edition, thoroughly updated and containing information on hundreds of
organizations not included in the first edition, documents many of the
most important of the grassroots initiatives which have emerged in seven
nations formerly part of the USSR: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova,
Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. It is the only guide of its kind,
identifying and describing the real architects and builders of democratic
progress across this vast and important region--from the Independent
Consumers Union in Azerbaijan to the Center for Defense of Wild Nature in
Vladivostok.
Many of the new entries represent projects based in provincial centers,
reflecting the spread of activism and civic engagement beyond the
concentration in national capitals. A new element is also the inclusion
of numerous international projects originating in Canada.
The Post-Soviet Handbook, Revised Edition, provides extensive contact
information for hundreds of independent, indigenous groups and
associations, and describes their principal programs and activities.
This compendium is an essential resource for scholars, policy makers,
business leaders, activists and anyone interested in collaborative
projects with these groups.
The Post-Soviet Handbook includes:
* Descriptions of 145 North American organizations managing projects in
these post-Soviet societies
* Contact information and brief profiles of more than 650 post-Soviet
non-governmental organizations
* Key electronic mailing lists and World Wide Web sites
* Online news sources
* A guide to sending and receiving e-mail in Cyrillic
415 pp, 6" x 9", paper, ISBN 0-295-97794-9, $19.95 (plus shipping and
handing).
