For a client who needs to know right away, we are trying to determine
which map coordinate system would be used on a Russian map of Turkey.  We
have learned from "World Mapping Today" (Parry and Perkins, 2d ed.) that
"from 1942 maps have been published using the Krassovsky ellipsoid, the
Gauss conformal projection, and the Kronstadt datum."  Can anyone confirm
this information (about Russian maps of Turkey), or provide any other
insights on this question?
