HISTORY 375: The Cold War—From World War II to the End of the Soviet Empire (Fall 2023) : Newspaper Articles and Broadcast News

Founded in 1949, the Current Digest was first published as The Current Digest of the Soviet Press (1949-1991), followed by The Current Digest of the Post-Soviet Press (1992-2010), and now The Current Digest of the Russian Press. Each week the Current Digest presents a selection of Russian-language press materials, translated into English. The translations are intended for use in teaching and research. They are therefore presented as documentary materials without elaboration or comment, and state the opinions and views of the original authors, not of the publisher of the journal.

FBIS Daily Reports consist of English language translations of foreign news broadcasts beginning in 1941 and continuing through 1996.

1939-2001 collection of summary intelligence briefing reports prepared for Britain and its allies, based on broadcast data from open, publicly available sources.

Moscow News (pub. 1930-2014) was the oldest English-language newspaper in the Soviet Union/Russian Federation. Over time it shifted from a mouthpiece of the Communist Party to an influential advocate for social and political change, reflecting the shifting ideological, political, social and economic currents of the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet Russian Federation.
