Understandable is the absence of any significant scholarly articles on the current political crisis in Ukraine. Therefore, this page may be more properly titled 'The background and context of the crisis in Ukraine.' The publications listed in this box, identified in ABSEES, are all available online to current IU users.
Provides information on East-Central Europe, Russia, Soviet Union and the former Soviet republics, with a collection of indexed sources published in the United States, Canada and some European countries.
This database is the online version of The American Bibliography of Slavic and East European Studies (ABSEES), which started in 1956 at Indiana University, Bloomington, and continued until 1994, when it completely went online. Its chronological scope is limited, going back to 1989.
Provides full-text coverage of magazine, newspaper, and scholarly journal articles for most academic disciplines.
This multi-disciplinary database provides full-text for more than 4,500 journals, including full text for more than 3,700 peer-reviewed titles. PDF backfiles to 1975 or further are available for well over one hundred journals, and searchable cited references are provided for more than 1,000 titles.
Provides online access to over 800,000 articles from the Russian press in both English and Russian.
The scope of chronological coverage varies from title to title, spanning from 2 to 16 years (Izvestiia). It is not only a retrospective archival database but also a current news service, incorporating the current issues almost simultaneously as the print issues come out.
Full-text access to a searchable online archive of academic e-journals and e-books in the Humanities and Social Sciences from and about Central and Eastern Europe.
Provides access to all journals and articles, more than 4,370 open access e-books, and over 9,400 open access grey literature items (institutional reports, working papers, government documents, white papers, etc.). Currently, the archive’s content comes from over 1400 publishers. Indiana University Libraries’ subscription does not include full access to all e-books and grey literature, so some paywalls are expected.
Full-text electronic versions of major Russian periodicals on social sciences and humanities.
This Russian periodical database provides full-text access to articles of 75 Russian journals in humanities and social sciences. All major disciplines are represented, but the scope of its chronological coverage is relatively narrower than its newspaper companion, UDB-Central newspapers. One resoundingly welcoming exception is Voprosy istorii (1945- ). Together with its two predecessors, Bor'ba klassov (1931-1936) and Istoricheskii zhurnal (1937-1945), the journal is completely covered by the database in its entirety.
