Russian Newspaper Subscriptions
My private source of Russian newspapers is drying up and I must
now subscribe the old fashioned way: I must pay for it. Can anyone
tell me a good (inexpensive, timely) subscription source for
Argumenti i Facti, for Nezavisimaya Gazeta (the Moscow daily, not the
Washington twice-monthly), for Izvestiya, etc.
Thanks.

RFE/RL Daily Report
No. 194, 12 October 1994
RUBLE COLLAPSE CONTINUES. The beleaguered ruble lost over a fifth
of its value against the dollar on 11 October, falling a record
845 points to end at 3,926 to one, according to Western agencies.
A Central Bank injection of $80 million at the close of trading
stopped the ruble from going over 4,000 to the dollar. The crisis
was set in motion in September when the Central Bank stopped
intervening to support the value of the currency and has been
exacerbated by panic selling. Central Bank Chairman Viktor
Gerashchenko blamed currency speculators for the fall and said it
would not last. Government officials met behind closed doors late
on 11 October to discuss ways of stabilizing the ruble, and the
parliament is expected to debate the crisis today; State Duma
Chairman Ivan Rybkin said some deputies might use the occasion to
propose a vote of no confidence in the government. Acting Finance
Minister Sergei Dubinin has denied rumors that the government
will freeze hard-currency deposits, seize hard-currency savings
accounts, or halt market trading of the ruble, ITAR-TASS
reported. -- Penny Morvant, RFE/RL Inc.

Subject: U.S. Federal Reserve Bank Publications
International members of the net may be interested in receiving
the monthly economic reviews published by the 12 regional Federal
Reserve Banks. My understanding is that the reviews are avail-
able free of charge, by sending a request, and your address, to
the addresses provided below. When I last checked, all but the
New York publication (which is quarterly) are monthly publica-
tions. Typically, and not surprisingly, most articles discuss
money and banking issues. However, one often finds economic
discussions of more general interest. Quite often the discus-
sions are both interesting and useful. The list of addresses is
appended below. Apologies in advance for cross-posting and
consequent duplication.
