All the formerly communist states of [[Central Europe|Central]] and [[Eastern Europe]], Central Asia and the Soviet Union have developed or are developing [[Scouting]] in the wake of the [[History of the Soviet Union (1985-1991)|renaissance in the region]]. These include most of the successor states to the Soviet Union, in the [[Commonwealth of Independent States]]. The 1996/99 Triennial Report of the World Scout Committee/World Organization of the Scout Movement shows that WOSM is aggressively pursuing the organization of Scouting activities in the countries of the former Soviet Union, according to its own vision. | ||
In 1997, WOSM created the new Eurasian Region, ostensibly to assist in the rebirth of Scouting in the 12 [[Post-Soviet states|former Soviet Republics]]: [[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], [[Belarus]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Moldova]], Russia, [[Tajikistan]], [[Turkmenistan]], Ukraine, and [[Uzbekistan]]. Several of the organizations in the Region were borne from existing [[Scouts-in-Exile]] organizations. [[Russian language|Russian]] was made the working language, and eight Scouting manuals and handbooks have been published, all in Russian. A quarterly periodical, also in Russian, is printed in the branch office in Moscow. The report (available at http://www.worldscoutshop.org) states, "The regional office will regularly translate WOSM documents into Russian." The executive director of this region is Dr. Alexander Bondar, who has moved to [[Crimea]] from Moscow. | In 1997, WOSM created the new Eurasian Region, ostensibly to assist in the rebirth of Scouting in the 12 [[Post-Soviet states|former Soviet Republics]]: [[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], [[Belarus]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Moldova]], Russia, [[Tajikistan]], [[Turkmenistan]], Ukraine, and [[Uzbekistan]].
