Serge's book is also ok, though he was otherwise a renegade. The book by Быстрянский is also a good source. I also recommend the "Soviet Russia" magazine and the "Soviet Russia pictorial" magazine. All the other sources cited are anti-communist and not recommended, though Koenker and Hatch are less bad.
