Dear Lesli, dear all,
Based on my intense talks with Dragos Olaru during my Czernowitz stay last week, I'm afraid to let you know that the accessibility to the Czernowitz Regional Archives worsened tremendously over the last few weeks/months. The former director Dmytro Zhmundulyak was dismissed and is currently under criminal investigations due to serious corruption allegations. Therefore the currently appointed director - a non-specialist - acts more than cautious, to put it charitably. He puts temporarily each and any request from abroad on the shelf and doesn't take any decision without the consent of the security service.
Sorry for not having better news, but it might be more effective for the time being to conduct a research via FamilySearch.
Edgar Hauster
