"Cybernetics, or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine" by Norbert Wiener 

- Although Wiener was an American mathematician, his book had a profound impact on Soviet cybernetics. The book was translated into Russian in 1950 and became a foundational text for Soviet cybernetics.

"General Theory of Information Transfer and Communication Channels" by A.N. Kolmogorov 

- This book, published in 1949, provided a mathematical framework for the study of information theory and had a significant impact on the development of cybernetics in the Soviet Union.

"Essays on the Theory of Control Systems" by Victor Glushkov 

- Glushkov was a Ukrainian mathematician who developed an early computer called the Kiev Institute of Cybernetics. His book, first published in 1966, presented his theory of the management of complex systems and the use of cybernetics to model and control them.

"The Biological Computer" by A.I. Kitov 

- This book, published in 1965, explored the use of cybernetic principles to study the brain and nervous system, and proposed the idea of the "biological computer" as a model for artificial intelligence.

These and other Russian books on cybernetics helped to shape the field and contributed to its development in the Soviet Union and beyond.
