Abstract

The previous chapter concluded that state control, censorship and a desire for ever-increasing accuracy are three trends which have characterised Russia’s cartographic history. Of the map series which have emerged from the Soviet era since the fall of the Iron Curtain, the extensive global series of topographic city plans perhaps exhibits these qualities most clearly. This chapter focusses in more detail on Soviet Military City Plans, examining how these inherited historical traits manifested themselves in the scope and content of this particular map series.
