Interesting collection of Russian links

 CIA World Factbooks: these are public access and there are instructions as to how to print and download. However from time to time, they love to say "Forbidden!". Ignore and try again another time. Its just a spook's way of saying "Busy". Try starting with the frontpage rather than the Index

A source of various information on the countries:

 THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SITES WITH LINKS TO OTHER WEBPAGES ABOUT ORGANISED CRIME. START WITH THE NATHANSON CENTRE IN CANADA, WHICH HAS AN AREA FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD; THEN TRY MARIO'S CYBERSPACE STATION [ITHINK THAT'S WHAT HE CALLS IT!] BUT BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME OF THE LINKS ARE TO NEWSAPAPER ARTICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN ARCHIVED. YOU WILL NEED TO FIND THE HOME PAGE FOR THE NEWSPAPER , THEN THIS SITE ["Wanted Dead or Alive], AND AFTER THAT AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE, WHICH ALSO CONTAINS CATEGORIES FOR INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF THE WORLD BEFORE HITTING THE GLOBAL ORGANISED CRIME PROJECT. THIS LAST SITE HAS A MAJOR REPORT ON RUSIAN ORGANISED CRIME.
