Russian and Soviet Cartography: A Concise History

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series:Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 358Accesses

Abstract

 This chapter proposes several maps, methods,individuals and organisations which have contributed most significantly to the development of Russian cartography as a whole; from the earliest cartographic references to ‘Russia’ until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, providing a summary of literature in this field and highlighting traits which persist throughout. Although this is broadly organised by chronology,occasional departures from this are necessary to support the aims of the thesis.
