The sections "General Surveys" and "Biographies" contain books; other sections contain both books and journal articles. Book entries may have references to reviews published in English language academic journals or major newspapers when these could be considered helpful.
Works included are referenced positively in the notes or bibliographies of scholarly secondary sources or journals.

Topics covered include the Russian Revolution, the February and October Revolutions in 1917, and the Russian Civil War, as well as closely related events such as the Russo-Japanese War and the Russian involvement in World War I, and biographies of prominent individuals involved in the Revolution and Civil War. A limited number of English translations of significant primary sources are included along with references to larger archival collections.
