Description
Bacon's standard map of Europe by George Washington Bacon (1830–1922). Original from Library of Congress. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel and Bob Pardue.
This old vintage map includes all of Europe and the communist Russia (USSR) at the turn of the 20th century.
As a transcontinental country from 1922 to 1991, the Soviet Union, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), occupied much of Eurasia.
The USSR occupied an area of over 22,402,200 square kilometers.
A flagship communist state, it was nominally a federal union of fifteen national republics; in practice, both its government and its economy were heavily centralized until its final years. Moscow, the capital of both the Soviet Union and the Russian SFSR, served as its capital for nearly seven decades. Other major cities included:
- Leningrad (Russian SFSR),
- Kiev (Ukrainian SSR),
- Minsk (Byelorussian SSR),
- Tashkent (Uzbek SSR),
- Alma-Ata (Kazakh SSR),
- and Novosibirsk (Russian SFSR).
It was then the largest country in the world.
