E. H. Carr's books may help, although they may now be dated. However,
your inquiry deals with an open period of history and one of interest
at the time, especially books on Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky.

Harvey Klehr of Emory University is open to inquiries. He specializes
in anti-communist books against the U.S. Communist Party. That should
be no impediment, for he seems to me to be open to serious inquiries.
Even though this isn't his area of study, he may be able to point you
in the right direction.

Just walking into a large university library and going to the section
on early Russian Communism and perusing the bibliographies may also
help, assuming that you don't get a more specific response.
