I really like that it's short, yet very informative. I get the basics of the ongoing situations in Eastern Europe, so I do feel very well informed. If I need more information, I know what to look for.

Brief Eastern Europe provides the essential news about this region of the world is a fast and easy format. It makes it so easy to catch the important headlines.

David Schultz

Professor of Political Science, Hamline University

Brief is very digestible summary of important news. But, it is far more than just a bullet-point summary of events, it also offers useful editorial insight behind the news. I really appreciate this coverage that would otherwise take a lot more searching to find.

Yet, they also reveal stories of resilience, dignity, and transformative civic engagement that continue to shape the democratic aspirations of these societies.
