As part of IPC, the Eurasia Branch (EAB) specializes in data collection and analysis for all countries of Europe and selected countries of Asia. Most effort, including economic research, is devoted to the countries of the former Soviet Union and China. For over 30 years, EAB and its predecessors have been a leading source of data and analysis for these regions on population dynamics and characteristics, ethnicity, education, health, labor force, industrial output and potential, fuel and energy balances, input-output tables, gross national product and other macroeconomic accounts and statistical systems. To facilitate this research, EAB maintains an extensive original-language library which is a major U.S. Government repository of Soviet and former Soviet republic economic, demographic, and other statistical materials. This bibliography documents all statistical materials received (as of June 1997) since the breakup of the Soviet Union and is designed as a reference tool for analysts working on various aspects of the former Soviet Union.

However, the quantity and diversity of the materials EAB has been receiving varies tremendously depending on the individual country. This bibliography is a collection of the available reference materials on economic, demographic, and social topics on the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union. The bibliography is divided into six sections: Statistical Handbooks (SH) - These books are published only once each year (at most). They include general statistical yearbooks, census volumes, and other topical handbooks. The data in these volumes are often more detailed, but not as timely as data in Press Releases or Periodicals. Press Releases (PR) - These are generally one table documents published by a country's state statistical department. They are usually one to five pages in length. Most Press Releases refer to one specific subject (e.g., wages, gas supply, private farms, consumer prices, etc.). Reports (R) - These short "papers" focus on various topics. Although they often contain tabular materials, they are usually much more descriptive in nature. Each entry gives the title of the report and several key words describing its content if it is not obvious from the title. Periodicals (PS) - These are monthly or quarterly statistical materials on various topics. Each entry gives the title of the periodical as well as several key words describing the information it contains. Other Materials (0) - These are generally non-statistical reference materials. Miscellaneous Tables (TA) - These are individual tables on various
