VOPROSY ISTORII
History Through Russian Eyes
Unprecedented Digital Access
ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Published by the Russian Academy of Sciences, the legendary journal Voprosy istorii
(“Issues of History”) has offered scholarly perspectives on events in Russia and the
world since 1926. This landmark publication chronicles the remarkable epoch of
the Soviet era, from its Marxist-Leninist origins through Stalin’s Terrors, the Great
Patriotic War, the Thaw and Perestroika, to Russia’s transformation into modern postCommunist statehood.
For historians of Russia and the Soviet Union, Voprosy istorii
‘‘represents
a vast repository of knowledge in the field. There are
few aspects of Russian or Soviet history that have not been
touched upon at some point during the long lifetime of this
remarkable journal. Most periods of history come within its
purview, and its geographical coverage extends to most corners
of the world. But to the historian of the Russian revolution in the
broadest sense, embracing the nineteenth century revolutionary
movement and the formation of the Soviet political and economic
system, Voprosy istorii offers the greatest riches.
Many items of great value to historians of various periods,
countries and movements are to be found … The problem
for the historian is how to access this vast wealth of scholarship… The present electronic version of Voprosy istorii and
its predecessor historical journals will be the kind of research
tool that is required to do justice to all that the journal has
to offer.

ABOUT THE DATABASE
For the first time, Voprosy istorii is now available online, in full
text and full image. In cooperation with the publisher, East
View Information Services began this mammoth project in
early 2004. A pristine backrun was acquired and then
painstakingly digitized and accuracy-checked. The digital equivalent
of 200,000 pages appearing in 950 consecutive issues was adapted
for use in East View’s familiar, powerful Universal Database™ format.
