----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We have had many requests regarding the RUSSIAN LANGUAGE atlas, published in 1986. Unfortunately, we could not answer everyone by mail or by fax. This detailed cartographic publication "THE ATLAS OF THE U.S.S.R" was produced only three times in history - 1962, 1969 & 1986. In 1991, the U.S.S.R. as we knew it, dissolved. THE ATLAS OF THE U.S.S.R. 1986 IS THE FINAL DETAILED PUBLICATION ABOUT THE COUNTRY WHOSE NAME WILL NEVER APPEAR ON MAPS OF THE WORLD. It has great historical and scientific value. There are 151 maps in this atlas and it consists of 4 parts - introduction (3 maps), geographical (43 maps), nature (41 maps), social and economical & review (64 maps). The review includes political-administrative division of the USSR and the new countries which appeared as a result. The boards of these countries are in accordance with the former republics of the USSR, this is why the information is of interest in present day. You can also find unique information on the maps of this atlas: ie. maps of medicinal plants (where they grow), accesibility to rivers in spring when the ice thaws, period of time when there is no ice on the rivers, when cherry trees begin to flower, structure of population, etc. At the conclusion of the atlas are references with regards to nature and an index of geographical names - more than 30,000 in total.
