The Slavic and East European Division collects materials in all formats from and about Eastern Europe as well as the Soviet Union and its successor states.  Ours is one of the country’s largest such collections, one that is especially strong in languages, literatures, history, social sciences, art and bibliography. The best represented countries are Russia, Poland, the Yugoslav successor states (especially Bosnia and Herzegovina), and the Czech Republic.  Notable holdings include Russian revolutionary movements, Russian and East European dissident writings, modern Armenian history and literature, rare books and archives focusing on the Silver Age of Russian Literature, and serial publications of the East European academies.  A current priority is development of both the Central Asian and Modern Greek holdings.
