Comparative Politics

Current and Former Communist Regimes

Not surprisingly, there are not many web sites that focus on the collapse of communism and its implications. The best of them are housed at universities and research institutes that focus on the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

The Open Market Research Institute has both translations of the press and analytical reports on most current and former communist countries. OMRI has lost much its funding and this site is often down these days.

The University of Michigan

The University of Pittsburgh

The University of Washington

The University of California-Irvine has a center on democratization that gives a good bit of attention to Russia and Eastern Europe

There are still a surprising number of pro- and anti-communist sites which focus on Marxist theory and its alleged failings respectively. Among the best and least biased are:

The Marx-Engels Archive and the Australian National University both have many of Marx and Engels' works on line along with links to other pro-marxist sites.

The Museum of Communism is a site highly critical of Marxism maintained by a young economist at George Mason University
