Russian visa invitations for research trips

[Patricia K. Grimsted]

For researchers (such as Ben Phillips who just inquired) who do not have a sponsoring Russian institution authorized and ready to issue an appropriate visa invitation, please see the recently updated information on the Introductory page of ArcheoBiblioBase <www.iisg.nl/abb>, under Research Inquiries/Arrangements.  We particularly recommend the services of Praxis International, directed by Arch Getty, as explained with appropriate web addresses.  The Praxis website also provides up-to-date visa information that my help, even if you do not use their service.

Incidentally, ArcheoBiblioBase, as explained in that newly revised introductory page, momentarily will also be launched on mirror site on the website of RANEPA,  the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, in Moscow, thanks to a collaborative agreement last year signed with the International Institute of Social History (Amsterdam).
