1998: East View Launches The Universal Database of Russian Newspapers
As the largest provider of credible, in-depth information on Russia and the former Soviet Union,
East View Information Services offers an innovative approach to electronic research. Convenient,
affordable and timely, our Universal Database of Russian Newspapers (UDB-COM) provides direct
access to an enormous information universe. Within hours of hitting the streets in Moscow or
St. Petersburg, the full-text files of over 30 of the most influential Russian newspapers are accessible
online for browsing, searching and analyzing.
Now East View's customers can monitor daily events in Russia with unparalleled ease and efficiency.
Research in a few minutes or hours topics and issues that previously would have required weeks or
even months of painstaking effort. The sophisticated search mechanism enables complex querying and
global searching across all newspapers within the database, as well as within individual titles
and issues. Each day some 900-1000 new articles are added to the database. Over 450,000 articles are
available to date.
