An excellent source of expertise on Russian and post-Soviet military affairs is the Post-Soviet Armies Newsletter (PSAN) at http://www.psan.org/ edited by Elisabeth Sieca-Kozlowski. INSIGHT, a new online-only PSAN publication providing concise insight and analysis, appears on the PSAN site on the 15th of each month.

For Russian-language books in the social sciences from the former USSR at reasonable prices, I recommend the firm MIPP International, based in Minsk. For further information see their website http://www.mipp.msk.ru/books
