This list, covering dissertations in the social sciences, humanities, and fine arts, was compiled through systematic searching in ProQuest's Dissertations & Theses database, as well as OCLC WorldCat, and other university library catalogs. The current list for 2020 contains 221 titles, with one title from 2017, and one title from 2016. The list covers works completed in 73 universities and available for electronic database searching from September 2021.
A list of dissertations, through 1959, can be found in Jesse J. Dossick's Doctoral Research on Russia and the Soviet Union (New York, 1960) and, through 1975, in the accompanying volume, Doctoral Research on Russia and the Soviet Union, 1960–1975 (New York, 1976). The second volume contains more than three thousand titles that have appeared in the Slavic Review's annual list since 1964 (the 1964 list also included dissertations accepted from 1960 to 1963), as well as items not previously included in the first volume. In addition, the second volume offers some critical and statistical analysis, more than thirty major classifications, numerous subclassifications and sub-subclassifications, cross-references, an index of Russian and Soviet names, and an index of authors. A list of dissertations from 1976 to 1991 may be found in the winter issues of Slavic Review through the year 1992.
