Subject: seeking innovative Internet uses in Central, Eastern Europe

I'm hoping listmembers can help me identify instances of innovative Internet
use in Central and Eastern Europe.

Specifically I'm searching for examples of how people have used the
technology to influence or reshape social and political power structures
in their nation or across the region.  This includes using the Internet to
create new partnerships and alliances that have influence, in creating
freenets or civicnets that provide access to those who would not have it
otherwise, or perhaps to give voice to citizens during government media
shutdowns, as with the protests in Belgrade during the winter of 1995-96.

All ideas and thoughts are most welcome. Thanks.
