General Research information

You will want to begin your search by exploring the Country Websites.  You may discover that one of the countries is in need of a coordinator.   If you are interested in adopting one of the countries, please contact us.

Each of the hosted countries maintains a system for submitting queries so you'll want to utilize the country specific query board if available. 

 

Brief East Europe information

 

Eastern Europe is a socio-political concept mainly influenced by the Cold War, which largely defined its borders. Its boundaries were effectively forged in the final stages of World War II and came to encompass all European countries which came under Soviet influence and control. As such these countries had communist regimes imposed upon them and neutral countries were classified by the nature of their political regimes. Of course today East Germany was absorbed by West Germany through the German reunification, becoming a part of Western Europe by default.
