I know that Valeriy Zamulin's books (one printed in English so far) have have changed how people in Russia and the rest of the world views the battle of Kursk now compared to what was written under the Soviets. As far as Soviet era memoirs the cold war era still has some people wondering how much the old regime influenced what was written but it's always good to read how two sides match up on reading about the same incident. James R. Arnold wrote a book recently using Russian, French, German and English sources called "Napoleon's Triumph" on the battle of Friedland. He could probably weave a good eastern front battle history using both sides with the right sources into English.
