QUESTION: History of Anarchism in Eastern Europe/Balkans

Submitted by Anonymooose on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 12:18pm
question / pregunta: 

I wonder if I could get some help with the history of anarchism/radical movements in the following countries:

Armenia
Bulgaria
Czechoslovakia
Georgia
Ukraine

... Obviously there has been quite a lot written on anarchism in the Ukraine and Bulgaria, but I'm finding information on other countries (especially Georgia and Armenia) quite elusive. Any help would be appreciated!
