2. A separate study needs to be written of violations of individual human rights in the Baltic republics. Here I can indicate only some of the major sources for obtaining information on individual cases. These include: all Baltic samizdat publications; Arkhiv samizdata publ. in the West; reports by Western correspondents in the Soviet Union, publ. in major U.S., Canadian, and European newspapers. In the English language most information is available on the situation in Lithuania. Periodic reports are in Lituanus, in the annual The Violations of Human Rights in Lithuania, which also gives translations of samizdat, in the publications of the Congressional Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, in Radio Liberty Research bulletins. The latter sources contain information on all three Baltic republics. Of samizdat publications, only The Chronicle of the Catholic Church of Lithuania has been periodically translated into English and available from the Lithuanian Information Center in Brooklyn, New York. Other information is also available in the press releases of this Center. See also the references in this article.
