"The maps are still a taboo topic in Russia today, so it’s impossible to know for sure, but what they’re finding suggests that the Soviet military maps were far more than an invasion plan. Rather, they were a framework for organizing much of what the Soviets knew about the world, almost like a mashup of Google Maps and Wikipedia"
Thanks, I've had a good laugh.
The maps were declassified in late 1980's/early 1990's and since then are freely available.
I, from Russia, have been browsing these maps online for years.
I'm still waiting for the KGB to come and take me...
