Our Resource of the Month for June is East View’s Universal Database of Russian Central Newspapers. Use this database to read up-to-date issues of the Russian Federation’s leading newspapers. It also offers an electronic archive of these newspapers, going back to the late 1990s or 2000s.

Many of these publications contain Russian government propaganda – however the collection includes opposition newspapers, such as Novaia Gazeta (New Newspaper).
