GRAS: Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Collections

Russian Independent Newspapers Collection, 1989-1997

This is a holdings list for a collection of unofficial newspapers published between 1989 and 1997 in Russia and the former Soviet republics, including Belarus, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, and Ukraine. The collection consists of approximately 250 titles stored in 69 boxes in the Library Service Center, under the call number DK285 .R78.

In 1985, the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev and the introduction of the policies of "glasnost" and "perestroika" opened a new era for Soviet publishing. The anti-censorship law passed on August 1, 1990, but by then Soviet society already enjoyed freedom of the press. It is likely that close to two thousand independent newspapers and journals were being published in the USSR by mid-1991. Often the phrase "неформальные издания" (unofficial publications) and, after August 1, 1990, "независимые издания" (independent publications) are used to describe this category in Russia and the former Soviet republics. The older term "самиздат" (samizdat) may refer to these publications as well (even though they came from printing presses).

The collection is open to patrons. Individual or multiple boxes can be requested through the Carolina Blu system from the Library Catalog.
