                SLYSHISH! SLYSHISH! (Or, Oyez! Oyez!)
 
                          Map of the
              PEOPLES OF RUSSIA AND ADJACENT COUNTRIES
                             (Or,
                NARODY ROSSII I SOPREDEL'NYKH STRAN)
 
     194 peoples and 67 sub-ethnic groups are shown on this 4-sheet
     multi-colored map of the peoples of Russia, the other Soviet successor
     states, and of the contiguous states.  For the first time (as they
     were not included in the Soviet censuses of 1937, 1939, 1959, 1970,
     1979, and 1989) over 40 peoples of Russia and other former Soviet
     republics have been marked.  Territories with an ethnically mixed
     population, sparse population, and with peoples in a minority on their
     own territory have all been depicted and differentiated by a variety
     of cartographic techniques.
 
     The map was compiled in 1995 by specialists, under the supervision of
     Professor Pavel I. Puchkov, at the Miklukho-Maklay Institute of
     Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in
     Moscow.  At a scale of 1:4 000 000 and on 4 sheets (total size 131x211
     cm), the map was published early this year (1996).  It is available in
     either English or in Russian language versions at either $US70.00 or
     ?40.00 (package and mailing costs included) from:-
