David Johnson,
In the hopes that your readers are as passionate about primary documents as you are, I thought they might be interested in the latest issue of The School of Russian and Asian Studies Newsletter.
It can be accessed here: http://tiny.cc/SrFpQ
In it, we focus on understanding modern Communism through modern primary documents. Full side-by-side translations of the Communist's presidential platform and the Central Committee Report of the 13th party congress are given.
We've also republished the Declaration of Human Rights that was adopted in 2006 by the World Congress of Russian People and largely authored by then Metropolitan (now Patriarch) Kirill. The document gives, we think, some interesting insight into the new Patriarch's world view.
We also [offer] lots of other information, as always, on Russian culture, language, politics, economy, and more.
Subscriptions to the newsletter and its archives are free.
Again, the latest newsletter can be accessed here: http://tiny.cc/SrFpQ
Best,
Josh Wilson
