User:Russia Watcher 2006

Who We Are
Russia Watcher 2006 is a team of graduate students from UCLA studying international public policy. We've written under different Wikipedia User IDs in the past, but a number of us Russia specialists decided to form an independent group specifically geared towards the former Soviet space. So here we are, named by democratic vote: Russia Watcher 2006!

What We Write About
One of our guys (yes, sorry ladies, we're all boys - though rest easy, as we are handsome as can be) did a research project on some American-based NGOs active in Russia over the last few years, so we hope to try to get some articles written about these curious little organizations. Our current stage-two project is writing articles about the Russian online community, notably the emergence and pecularities of Russian LiveJournal. Hope you'll stay posted and follow our progress!

Want to Know More?
Thanks for reading our stuff and, should you like to know more about us, we have tons of memos and research notes we'll gladly sell you on eBay! (This is how scholars without publishing contracts make a living, right?)
