Thanks to a tip I found this book today, it was published in August 2013. The Soviet COIN experience has appeared before, mainly in Afghanistan and there is a thread I think on the resistance - in the forests - of the Baltic states. The campaigning after defeating Hitler's Germany lasted into the early 1950's, without I expect any media or external coverage.

From the publishers reviews:
One of the most obscure aspects of Soviet history has long been the violent pacification of the Soviet borderlands after the end of World War II. Professor Statiev has for the first time produced a strikingly original, honest, and comprehensive account of that hidden history. Free of polemic and prejudice, his account will become the standard work.
An Amazon reviewer in part:
I would like to add from my perspective is that chapter nine on police tactics is my favorite section of the book with its focus on the tactics, techniques and procedures employed to counter this threat. In particular is the coverage the soviet use of pseudo operation and units to penetrate, isolate and eliminate the partisan and guerrilla human and physical infrastructure. It is by far the best coverage I have read on the use of this strategy by the soviets.
