A View of English speaking media, 2001 (reviewed by an eye of a Russian
demographer, 2002)
The source of the materials for this review is the weekly journal of Center
of the Defense Information (The CDI
Russia Weekly) which is a unique daily repository of useful information
and analysis dispatching news and analytical materials about various aspects
of life in modern Russia, political, economic, social, military, etc. The
project is financed by The Carnegie Corporation of New York and The MacArthur
Foundation. The web site of this "weekly journal" is placed in Washington
on the CDI servers. CDI is not for profit research and educational organization.
To subscribe for a weekly journal address
immediately to Mr. D. Johnson.
The genres of the disseminated texts are rather various, mainly they
are newspaper articles, but there are also analytical reports, reviews
of scientific publications, readers' letters. The volume of processed and
delivered to subscribers information is huge indeed. Mr. D. Johnson does
a great job. I have selected those, documents, which have entries of either
"mortality" or "life expectancy".
