Shashkas and kindjals entered Russian military only in the 19th century, after Caucasian wars.
You may look for a book by Kulinski published by Atlant

This is the most complete encyclopedia of Russian weapons; it is in Russian but there are shorter, 1-2 paragraph, descriptions of each weapon in English.
Costs 2,000 rubles + shipment. Send them an e-mail and they respond very quickly.
Shipment will take about month and a half, though.....
