The Caucasus Mountains rise at the intersection of Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. A land of astonishing natural beauty and a dizzying array of ancient cultures, the Caucasus for most of the twentieth century lay inside the Soviet Union, before movements of national liberation created newly independent countries and sparked wars in Chechnya, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. The two parts of the Caucasus -- the northern portion still in Russia and the three countries to the south are uneasily joined by the ferociously independent people of the mountains.

The Nobels in Baku

Swedes' Role in Baku's First Oil Boomby Brita AsbrinkFew people know about the deep connection that the Nobel brothers - Alfred, Ludvig and Robert - once had with Baku. In fact, when the Nobel Prizes were established more than a century ago (1901), roughly 12 percent of the prize money was drawn from Alfred's shares in the Nobel Brothers' Petroleum Company in Baku.

Swedish writer Brita Asbrink has spent the past three years researching the Nobel family and their ties to the oil fields of Baku. In addition to writing a book on the subject, called "Ludvig Nobel: Petroleum Has a Bright Future," Asbrink has produced a TV documentary called "Red Sun Over the Nobel Oil Fields," which aired this past fall to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Nobel Prize. Here she describes how she went about investigating the history of the Nobels.
