The best comprehensive gazetteer of all localities in Imperial Russia is by Vasmer, Max. '''Russisches Geographisches Namenbuch''' [Russian Geographical Namebook]. Wiesbaden: Harassowitz, 1964-1981. Nachtrag (Supplement), 1988. 11 vols. (FHL INTL Book 947 E5r). ''Spiski naselennykh Mest Rossiiski Imperii'' were the primary source for much of the data. This set of books is referred to as the RGN and includes eleven volumes plus the Kartenband (maps).

Localities are listed in the Cyrillic alphabet but the gazetteer is still usable to non-Russian readers because the descriptions are in German. The pre-1917 administrative units of ''guberniya'' (G.) and ''uyezd'' (Kr.) are given. The German word for uyezd is ''Kreis''. If there are several localities in the same guberniya, the guberniya is indicated only after the first locality in the guberniya. It is not repeated for each subsequent locality listed.
