Note: The construction of this bibliography in progress proceeds thusly: first, books and anthologies of Ilyenkovʼs writings, books and anthologies about Ilyenkov and Soviet philosophy with emphasis on publications following the demise of the USSR. Links to essays and articles will follow. Activity Theory is a much broader area, encompassing the work of Lev Vygotsky and many others. This larger area may not be thoroughly documented here. Ilyenkovʼs work intersects not only with Vygotsky, but with Lifshits, Mamardashvili, Lektorsky, and others.

Also, there may be some duplication between articles appearing in journals and in books. Many of these authors can be found at academia.edu, which encompasses much material not (yet) included here. Check also the Marxists Internet Archive, the journal Historical Materialism and the book series of the same name from Brill publishing company, books in archive.org,, and other web sites, guides and bibliographies.

Note also that due to censorship, some items from the Soviet period are truncated versions of the original writings.
