Includes The Current Digest of Soviet and Post-Soviet Press, 1949-present. Select The Current Digest, and "Russian/English," since the database is in English. Search for Russian names using the Current Digest's transliteration system. This system differs from the Library of Congress system (which the rest of the Universal Database uses) for the following letters: ё - yo, й - i, ь - (omitted), ю - yu, я - ya. So, for example, not Chechnia (Library of Congress and the rest of the Universal Database) but Chechnya (Current Digest).
