That's interesting. The Atlantic says: Take Novorossiya, the name Vladimir Putin has given to the huge wedge of southeastern Ukraine he might, or might not, consider annexing. The term is plucked from tsarist history, when it represented a different geographical space. Then they link a yandex search for, what the context suggests, should be contemporary Novorossiya maps produced by Russian propaganda. But they seem to match this map, uploaded to Wikipedia five years before the Crimean invasion: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RussianEmpireMap1800-38-NovorossiyskayaProvince.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RussianEmpireMap1800... And it does look like southeastern Ukraine indeed. So?
