Purchased with the support of the German Research Foundation, the database contains materials which document the election comprehensively; there are, among other documents:

• Materials of the central election committee, including information on the organisation of the election, minutes and data collected in connection with the election
• Extensive information on all registered and rejected candidates, including their manifestos and numerous ephemera, such as posters, flyers, photographs, press articles or financial status reports
• Advance information and reports by the election observers of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe)

All documents are available in the PDF format, can be searched using the Cyrillic writing or the Anglo-Saxon transliteration and can be downloaded as well. An additional browsing function permits efficient search, classified by the categories content, source and type of object.
