The Soviet Union's demise in 1991 resulted in 15 independent
nations, each faced with enormous challenges -- radical economic
restructuring, crime, corruption, even civil war. But it also
spawned the formation of thousands of dynamic new organizations by
public-spirited citizens seeking to make their societies more
humane, economies more productive, environments cleaner, and legal
systems more just.
This thoroughly revised edition of The Post-Soviet Handbook
documents the enormous variety of grassroots efforts in Russia,
Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan,
providing concise descriptions and accurate contact information for
these diverse organizations. Many of the new entries represent
projects based in provincial centers, reflecting powerful trends
toward autonomy and decentralization. Internet users will find a
wealth of new resources. A new element is the inclusion of projects
based in Canada. Whether the issues are the environment, the
disabled, the excesses of "wild capitalism, " human rights, or
ethnic conflict, The Post-Soviet Handbook shows how grassroots
self-organization accomplishes real change.
