I wonder how new this information actually is. The "recently discovered" document discussed from Lockhart's son only says that Lockhart worked more closely with Reilly than he was willing to admit, including on Savinkov's plan to turn the Latvian Riflemen. However, looking at the relevant section in Johnathan Smele's bibliography of the Russian Revolution (pp.276-9), there seem to be several articles from the 1990s that take these connections and Lockhart's involvement in the plot as established fact.

EDIT: The reason I was looking for Smele's biography was to find the name of the book I have on British intelligence and the Russian Revolution and Civil War, which was this one:



Can't say if it's any good, but it's a follow up reading suggestion for anyone interested.
