(b) Voennye Memuary
series

Several hundred volumes have now been published in this series, where quality tends to vary very considerably. Largely for this reason I have restricted this present list to substantive (and verifiable) accounts or to those making a specific contribution. Since all volumes have been published in Moscow by
Voenizdat
, it is only necessary to indicate the year of publication.
