Soyuz: The Research Network for Post-Communist Cultural Studies
Since September of 1993, Soyuz has been bringing together anthropologists and other social scientists working in
post-communist cultural studies. Amidst a disparate but rapidly growing community of scholars, our goal has been to bring together potential colleagues at AAA and AAASS meetings, distribute a quick reference guide to works-in-progress, and produce an annual bulletin. In turn, we have been helping to organize a conference in post-communist cultural studies each spring.

The Syndicate
The Syndicate was formed on 21
January 1996 during the Next 5 Minutes conference in Rotterdam. A loose
affiliation of artists, curators, networkers, writers and festival
organisers, most of them from Eastern Europe, who are working in the
field of electronic- and media-art. Because the emerging arts in these
countries shared similar situations, it seemed a good idea to
communicate more regularly, to stimulate collaboration, to facilitate
co-operation between East and West, and to form a strategic alliance
that is able to speak with one voice when necessary. The East-West axis
has become less relevant for defining the character of the Syndicate.
Any underworld organisation needs to define its territory though. The
Syndicate calls it: Deep Europe. [...] The heart of the Syndicate is its
mailinglist, hosted by the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, and
coordinated by V2_Organisation in
Rotterdam, which cleared a corner for what it called it's V2_East
initiative.

Links
by nation
The below is a small
collection of links giving elementary information and further links
pertaining to each of the countries in the region. It is meant as a
starting point for further net-based research. The exception is Russia,
which is somewhat more comprehensive, but the Russian link collection is
also rather arbitrary and could do with a lot of improvements.
When you find newer and better links that fit in here, please report

INFONOR - Oprindelige folk i Rusland
Græsrodsorganisationen INFONOR arbejder for at informere det skandinaviske publikum om forholdene i det nordlige og fjernøstlige Rusland og formidler samtidig dansk bistandshjælp til selvhjælpsprojekter i samme områder. I INFONOR har vi akut brug for engagerede mennesker, som vil arbejde med oversættelse, redigering af nyhedsbrev, deltagelse i og opfølgning på projekter og meget mere. Du får mulighed for direkte kontakt til Ruslands oprindelige befolkning via telefon, mail og enkelte rejser. Du får kontakt til et stort netværk. Du bliver en del af et engageret team. Vi er en lille NGO som arbejder med urfolk i Rusland. Vi udgiver et tidsskrift 1 gang i kvartalet, har projekter og vil opbygge et dokumentationscenter. Vi har været med til at danne CHUM-listen som er et netværk for forskere og aktivister som beskæftiger sig med urfolk i Rusland. Hvis du vil vide mere om CHUM-listen eller være med på den så se på vores hjemmeside.
