  9. Are self-nominations not too unseemly? If not, I humbly nominate Registan.net.

    I would nominate Siberian Light, but Andy has just retired.

    Scraps of Moscow deserves a nod too.

  10. If self-nominations are OK, I’ll throw Registan.net out there.

    Also, Scraps of Moscow, the whole stable at neweurasia, Oneworld Multimedia, and Blogrel are all superb.

  11. Didn’t mean to comment twice like that! Just didn’t see the first one go through!

    But, I’m glad I thought of the other nominees the second time around.

  12. As well as those suggested above, here’s a few Russia blogs that are great reads, and easily deserve to make it to the final:

    (The last three are all great blogs, but I’m sensing that a slight lack of variety in the naming conventions of blogs about Russia…)

Nominees for Best CIS blog

Posted on by

Nominate your favorite European blog(s) from the CIS here.

Rules:

You can nominate as many blogs as you like. Please don’t be shy about nominating your own blog.

Nominations should preferably be in the form of comments or trackbacks to the relevant post.

Only European blogs are elegible. By that we mean that the blog should be written by Europeans, or else focus on some European issue. (Czech, Catalan…)

This weblog is not eligible for any awards, but our contributors’ other blogs are.

The nominating phase will go on for several weeks. The finalists will be determined by the number of nominations and our discretion.

The master post for the awards is here.

  3. Thanks for the nomination Yakub!

    Nominations do seem to be a bit thin on the ground for this category so far though, which is surprising as there are some excellent CIS blogs out there. Here are a few that I’d like to nominate:

    The Russian Dilettante
    The Argus
    Scraps of Moscow
    Lex Libertas
    52 North 16…

  5. I was going to nominate myself, but I see that Andy has helpfully done that already. Thanks.

    In addition, I’d like to nominate The Argus and SiberianLight.

    Happy New Year, everyone.
