Canadian Publications on the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe for 1981

Abstract

This is the sixth annual bibliography of works pertaining to the Union and Eastern Europe, as well as to the peoples of those countries settled in Canada, published by Canadian scholars. The primary purpose of the bibliography is to provide an up-to-date research tool for persons working in the area. It is also hoped that it will make known the range of activities and areas of expertise of Canadian scholars. The bibliography notes over 400 monographs, articles, review articles, identifiable sections of books, signed encyclopedia entries, and published occasional papers, as well as 10 doctoral dissertations accepted by Canadian universities. Reviews, newspaper articles, mimeographed papers, and belles-lettres have been excluded. For the purpose of this bibliography Soviet and East European refers to all Slavic areas and the remaining territory of the Union, Finland, the Baltic states, Hungary, Rumania, Albania, and East Germany (after 1945), but not to Turkey, Austria, Greece, China, or international communism outside the bloc. Scholarly material pertaining to settlers from the included countries in Canada is also listed. The bibliography is for 1981 and includes 1981 imprints and journals dated 1981. Items dated prior to 1981, but that actually appeared in 1981, as well as items omitted from the 1980 bibliography have also been included. (Journal dates are 1981 unless otherwise indicated.) This bibliography is a product primarily of submissions by members of the Canadian Association of Slavists. Additional entries were provided by the compiler after a survey of some 200 leading journals in the field. Svitlana Hrybinsky compiled the Ukrainian entries and her valuable assistance is greatly appreciated. In a few instances, recent issues could not be consulted either because they were being bound or were late in production. Readers are requested to bring any omissions to the attention of the compiler and especially to submit lists of their 1982 publications to the journal's offices.
