There has been a revival of the study of the Russian experience in World War I over the last twenty-five years. Much of this can be explained by the opening of archives after 1991 and by the centennial of the war in 2014-2018. But the publication of this book was also enormously important.

It also highlighted the massive scale of social dislocation – more than six million uprooted Russian subjects in all.
From Joshua's list on Russia in World War I.
