As I alluded in a post several weeks back, one of the reasons that things have been a bit slow here at DotA as of late is that I’ve been busy at work developing a new web site/blog.

I am happy to announce that last night the site went “live.”

It’s called The Russian Front. In addition to offering visitors commentary and articles written by professional historians, The Russian Front is intended to serve as a resource depot for documents, teaching materials, original translations, and the like relating to Russian military and diplomatic history.

Right now you’ll find a word of welcome and a few never-before available translations of important Soviet documents. We’ll have much more in the days and weeks to come as new resources are stockpiled and as my fellow “frontoviki” being adding articles of their own.

If you’re interested in military history, I hope you’ll consider making The Russian Front a regular part of your Internet travels. It promises to be informative, useful, and, we hope, entertaining. At the very least, I guarantee that you’ll find your experiences there far more rewarding than these guys did.
