For forty years, the U.S. Department of Education has supported Columbia University's programs of instruction, research, and outreach concerning the former Soviet Bloc. Columbia's East European, Russian, and Eurasian National Resource Center is one of 15 national comprehensive Centers to be funded for 2003-2006.

As part of a longstanding effort to provide resources on Central Asia and the Caucasus, the Center is pleased to present the resources below. Center staff would be grateful for suggested additional links.
