Each month we choose an electronic resource which we feel will be of interest to you.

Our Resource of the Month for December is Legislation of CIS Countries, or Zakonodatel’stvo stran SNG (Законодательство Стран СНГ). This Russian-language database gathers legislation from CIS countries into one searchable platform.

Resource Overview

Legislation from CIS Countries presents legislative documents – including законы, постановления and указы – from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and the Eurasian Economic Commission. These countries produce officially sanctioned translations of their legislation into Russian, hence the breadth of coverage. The database is updated regularly, and contains easily identifiable hyperlinks to legislative amendments.
