I study Russian and Ukrainian politics with a focus on the post-Soviet extreme right at the National Unviersity of Kyiv - Mohyla Academy, and the Eichstaett Institute for Central and East European Studies (ZIMOS), a small, yet active research center, in Upper Bavaria. See http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/ . Since 2005, I have been involved in the creation, in Ukraine, of a new Master's program in German and European Studies administered jointly by Kyiv's Mohyla Academy and Jena's Schiller University. See http://www.des.uni-jena.de/ .
 
Most of my publications are available here: http://ku-eichstaett.academia.edu/AndreasUmland/Papers and http://digg.com/users/Umland/history/submissions/ . My books are listed here: http://ku-eichstaett.academia.edu/AndreasUmland/Books .
 
I would be glad to hear from people with similar research interests, and from those wanting to publish their dissertations, monographs, edited volumes or document collections in the English- and German-language book series "Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society" where 100 volumes were published in 2004-2010 (http://www.ibidem-verlag.de/spps.html ). Among the particular (but not only) foci of this series are Russian nationalism (http://www.amazon.com/Russian-Nationalism-V-Russocentrism-amp-Messianism-in-the-20th-Century/lm/R... ), post-communist politics (http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/byauthor/ABDE6L94... ), and higher education in CEE or the NIS (http://www.amazon.de/Higher-Education-in-Eastern-Europe-Engl... ).
 
ZIMOS's web journal "Forum noveishei vostochnoevropeiskoi istorii i kul'tury" (http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forumruss.html ) invites Russian-language scholarly papers in the fields of contemporary East European history, post-Soviet politics, and Eurasian cultural studies.
