All the more reason not to be a communist
The caucasus is weird. If that map is correct, that's an extremely useful resource. The issue with Caucasus subdivisions during the USSR is that the ones in the modern day were all made by their 1991 constitutions, and apparently their origins weren't in the USSR, unlike most of the other soviet republics. Is there a source you know of that can verify that these subdivisions existed? (And I mean the ones beside Nagorno-Karabakh and the Kurdistan Uyezd)
the ideology of the country isn't the problem here the problem is
Yeah, I completely understand what you are saying, one simple example is the tartar district and no, I don't have any definitive proof but all the maps I can find represent more or less the same:

What about something like the purple of Omniatlas' USSR?
honestly, maybe?
That's just the side effect of being a communist
I like the scheme. Definitely much easier on the eyes.
Much appreciated. I'll see if I can find anything on deviantart. There's a guy called Metallist-99 on deviantart who does Russian history maps, including the soviet union. I'll look through his gallery and see if I can find anything else. Would you also happen to have anything on Turkmenistan? They did have subdivisions but there was no maps detailing what they looked likeYeah, I completely understand what you are saying, one simple example is the tartar district and no, I don't have any definitive proof but all the maps I can find represent more or less the same:

still not entirely sure why this begets neon colours, i'm going to be honest
when i was working on it before i had the idea of being a bit more - for want of better wording - avant-garde on the ideological side of things. e.g taking a page from the likes of aleksandr barchenko and his quest for agartha in northeast asia (that's not in the map itself, merely an example of what i wanted to aim for)
I think northeastern Italy is slightly off.
Here's an updated version of September 1 1939 with the Caucasus updated, as well as changes to the boundary colors and adding a maritime boundary for the Italian Dodecanese
Your administrative borders. Venezia Giulia should not extend to the Austrian border. As an aside, I think your basins in the same area are off on your river systems map in the other thread.
almost certain the 1700 map was by boris, i think it's this one specifically:
Perhaps we could have a colour scheme based on eye sparing pale colours?
Found this map from 1940.
i suppose there's always a possibility but making a colour scheme seems like, from what i can tell, an exceptional amount of work
