Steps to reproduce

The dataset was created through the manual examination of the primary sources listed in the "Description" section. The data collection process involved the following steps: The main texts and footnotes/bibliographies of each of the listed primary sources (journal issues, training materials) were reviewed. The bibliographic details (author, title, year, institution) of other works (e.g., theses, articles) cited within these sources were identified. Each identified bibliographic entry was assessed for its relevance to the scope of the research project (Russian intelligence theory and science). Publications not directly relevant to the topic were filtered out. Relevant entries were recorded in the dataset under the fields "author", "title", "year", and "institution". To reproduce or verify the dataset, researchers would need to access the sources specified in the "Description" section and apply the same manual scanning and filtering process to identify citations within them.
