The Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Journals & Articles

Journal titles are searchable through the Penn Libraries' catalog, Franklin. Combine keywords and filter results by 'Journals/Periodical' to browse available journal titles. 

• Sample Journal Title catalog search: Russia* OR east Europe* OR slavic

Articles are independently searchable through Articles+, the Penn Libraries' entry point to ebooks, scholarly journals, newspaper articles, and conference proceedings.

• Sample Article searches: (Crimea OR Donbas) AND Putin ; sanctions AND "international relations" AND Russia* ; Russia* AND propaganda AND Ukrain*

If you discover an article Penn Libraries' currently doesn't provide access to, if you fill out an article request form you should be able to receive the article within 3-5 days (but often much quicker) via resource sharing. 

Look for the Penn text icon, "full text online", "citation online" links to connect with articles or to request digital scans
