ON THE STUDY ATLAS
the old one has been left: No. X — Moscow, L
1? XII Crimea and others.1! The numbering must be new.
7. In No. XIV neither the Tatar Republic nor the Bashkir Republic are shown in full. They must be shown in full. Likewise all autonomous regions. The national composition of the autonomous regions must be given (in the explanatory text) according to the latest data.
8. The following old maps have been omitted:
Saratov and surrounding gubernias
Simbirsk, Penza and surrounding gubernias
Rostov-on-Don and surrounding gubernias
Smolensk and surrounding gubernias (Byelorussia)
Right-Bank Ukraine.
The Caucasus (with the obligatory indication of the frontiers of all the new republics).
The atlas must be complete. All gubernias. An incomplete atlas is utterly useless, and the specimen copy is disgracefully incomplete.
9. Instead of the additions (in bold type) at the bottom and on the side: distances by rail (this is taken from the old one) — there must be short distances not only by rail.
10. Add: a map of the plan for electrification (from the book “Plan for Electrification, Submitted to the 8th Congress of Soviets”).
11. A map of higher educational institutions (universities, etc.) and educational establishments by gubernias (at least the data already available). Add.
12. Add: a map of radio stations.
13. The historical maps (2 new ones at the end) are no good. They are incomplete. They contain errors. Instead of these two we need:
(a) one of this
format. A historical map of
Soviet
Russia.
The lines of the fronts by dates (For example:
1918; XII.
1918; V OR VI 1919; XI OR XII 1919. I and XII. 1920) with notes:
such-and-such fronts at such-and-such time.
The state frontier of the entire RSFSR and of the neighbouring republics (which were part of the Empire).
(b) A map of the entire RSFSR with Siberia, at least of a small format, on one map.
