The topic is relatively obscure. (How appropriately academic of you

)
We do have a few Russian and Estonian members who might have a connection, but maybe the university history departments could be of more assistance (Oxford, London, etc.). If you need primary sources for your paper, you may need to read Russian.
Good luck. And don't hesitate to create a thread on the topic when you find out what you need to know.
EDIT: Topic moved to Q & A
