Abstract
ABSTRACTWe may not think of Russia as an advanced information society with open access to its scholarship, but it is. The Russian Electronic Library at elibrary.ru offers us twenty-eight million academic journal articles, essays in edited volumes, book reviews, and other texts from all disciplines, many of them in PDF full text and free to download. All of Russia’s periodical scholarship is open to the world in elibrary.ru. Just one keyword search, for “Чешская республика” [Czech Republic], brings us 863 results, 372 of them (forty-three percent) in full text. We can find much more writing about Czech subjects with other search terms, but even this single corpus of 863 results shows us the diversity of scholars, interests, and perspectives in Russia on the Czech Republic and the Czech people in the past and present. The Russian Electronic Library can help us reduce ethnocentrism in Czech studies. It gives us open access to a diverse and unfolding scholarship outside the Czech Republic, the European Union and the West.
