How do I get geneology information from Russia?

Question:

How do I get geneology information from Russia?

I am pretty sure our geeology is in line with the author named Gogol in Russia but I do not know how to get info from foreign countries especially ex-communist countries?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Gogol did not have any children, so your connection can be only through his relatives, for example his five sisters (his only live born brother died young). Read his biography, if you can read Russian, I provide the link.

Last names of Gogol's ancestors: Yanovsky (famous Polish gentry), Shostak, Shcherbak, Doroshenko, Skoropadky
