This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but in:
Wertsch, J. V. (1999). Revising Russian history. Written
Communication, 16, 267-295.
Wertsch looks at the way in which newer Russian history books are dialogic
with Soviet history books--actually the dialogism is "hidden" i.e. not
explicit--in that the historical revisions refute the Soviet
versions. I've drawn on this article several times when looking at the
ways in which writers acknowledge prior texts when producing new texts.
