Reading local English-language and ex-pat newspapers is the perfect way to prepare for travels in Eastern Europe and to keep up with the culture.

If you’re looking for local news in your next Eastern European destination, or are interested in following the politics of your favorite nation, our resource list of English-language newspapers will help you keep in touch.

English Newspapers in Russia

Out of Moscow, Mosnews has regularly updated articles and features, and the Moscow News is updated daily and includes English translations of articles originally published in Russian. From St Petersburg, the St Petersburg Times features more local news as well as reports from all over Russia. In the ex-USSR, the Belarusian Telegraph Agency site reports news from Belarus and the Ukrainian Observer is a magazine style source of information.

Resources in the Czech and Slovak Republics

Representing the Czech Republic, Prague is the home of two useful online newspapers, the Prague Post and the Prague Daily Monitor. Further south, Bratislava is home to the daily updated Slovak Spectator.

Reading Up on the Baltic States

The best English-language online newspaper covering Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is the Baltic Times, published weekly: you do need a subscription, however. Smaller resources from the individual country come and go; Latvians Online, for example, is a useful resource about Latvia.

Balkan Nations Newspapers

Croatia’s Nacional tends to focus heavily on economic and political news, but still has some useful information. In Bulgaria, the Sofia Echo and Bulgarian Post and in Romania, the Bucharest Daily News, all provide interesting updates on the region.

Poland and Hungary Online Resources

The best up-to-date news on Poland can be found in the Warsaw Voice; Hungary’s Budapest Sun does the same for its region.
