Several subject overview texts are available to researchers as well, including one published in English by M.E. Sharpe Inc., called Culture Incarnate: Native Anthropology from Russia, in which non-Russian ethnic minorities discuss their own cultures' folklore, rituals, ethnography, etc. Russian publications which focus more on political anthropology and philosophical anthropology, respectively, are Drevneishie gosudarstva Vostochnei Evropy (Ancient States of Eastern Europe), and Chelovek v kontekste kultury: slavianskii mir (The Individual in the Cultural Context: The Slavic World).

Unfortunately, only one periodical publication is available on campus in the area of Anthropology, a journal on Russian civilization, entitled Mir Rossii: sotsiologiia, etnologiia, kul'turalogiia (Universe of Russia: Sociology, Ethnology, Culture Studies). Although the text is in Russian, a table of contents in Russian and in English is provided. Recent articles include "Russia's calamitous years (historical transformations, crisis, values, and perspectives)," "Origins of ethnic conflict in Tataria," and "Social and social-psychological mechanisms of formation of the social identification of the individual."

Although not a general bibliography of Eastern European anthropology, Novaia literatura po sotsialnym i gumanitarnym naukam. Istoriia, arkheologiia, i etnologiia (New Literature in the Social Sciences and Humanities: History, Archeology and Ethnology) is a comprehensive, well-organized international bibliography of research in fields related to and overlapping with Anthropology. This publication is ordered by subject, and is indexed by subject, country of publication, and author, and likewise provides a detailed annotation for each citation. Subject headings are in English and Russian, to allow for easy scanning by non-native readers of Russian.
