It is probably the most comprehensive source of information on this geographic region. Listed are mor than 3.000 film directors from the Baltics, Middle Asia, the Caucasus Mountains, Russia, the Ukraine, Belorussia and Moldawia. Thus, the whole territory of the former USSR is taken into account. You can download the databank
