Comprehensive Academic Sites on Russian and Slavic Studies

• Bucknell College Russian Studies Materials Well designed page with lots of links to useful sites on Russian culture, literature, society, history, cinema, etc.  The only problem is it's so loaded with movies and sound recordings that it demands a lot of memory.

• Sher's Russian Web Probably the most exhaustive and complete listing of Russian on-line sites available:  headings include travel, art and culture, newspapers, news organizations, Russian academic and govedrnmental organizations, commercial sites, information about teaching your computer o read and write cyrillic, tutorial programs for learning Russian - you name it, there's a listing here for it.

• Maksim Moshkow's Library Perhaps the largest virtual libraries of Russian materials pertaining to popular and high culture, literature, cinema, music, and a host of other topics.  A must.

 
• KinoKultura  For information about new Russian films, this on-line newsletter of the Study Group of Culture and the media of the British Asociation of Slavonic and East European Studies is absolutely first-rate.
