    All the airports and harbors are so clearly labeled. They must have really cared about the local infrastructure.

      Why?.. Is shifting name of an object when there’s no “proper” space for it not a common thing in the Western maps?

    Soviet maps of the UK are redrawn versions of maps from uk publishers (Ordinance Survey). This was discovered from identical locations of height measurements. Who did they copy here?

    Ordinance Survey attempted to sue the publishers of the Soviet maps for copyright violation. They were still selling the maps after the fall of the Soviet Union.
