So, I have always loved studying and analyzing Russia and this is a very interesting map really showing where the people are in Russia and can really begin to understand how a lot of Russian history just by looking at this map. Example is the whole process, within the past Soviet regime, of deporting peasants and other enemies within the Soviet Union to far away places, mostly up north towards the North Pole and also in Siberian Russia. This not only implies what kind of weather and such these people went through but really how far away from homes they had to go. This also shows how the Soviet government lost money because of how much it cost to deport these people to these locations. This is a very good, and important map.
