Russian Regional Studies Network

We are proud to announce that the Russian Regional Studies Network
(RRSN) is up and running on our website.  More than 50 researchers and
practitioners have already provided descriptions of their projects.  You
can see this information online at:

http://www.iews.org/rrrabout.nsf/pages/RRSN

The Russian Regional Studies Network (RRSN) is a virtual community of
specialists dedicated to the study of Russia's 89 constituent parts.
The RRSN acts as a clearinghouse of information and provides a
networking mechanism for its participants.  It is a unique opportunity
to advertise your projects to other specialists, as well as learn what
others in the field are studying and doing.

We imagine our network as a place where both scholars and practitioners
can come together to share information and resources.  This is why you
will find not only academic studies, but also projects of government
agencies and non-governmental organizations posted on our site.

You can join the RRSN by completing the "project information" form on
our website.
