Huh? I looked up
- Rostov 57°11′N 39°25′E
- Michurinsk 52°53′N 40°29′E
Looks like Rostov is further north than Michurinsk??
- bscphil 4y agoMost likely Rostov refers to Rostov-on-Don [1], at 47°14′N 39°42′E. Assuming a spherical earth, Michurinsk is ~630 km further north. The figure given in the article is probably rounded. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostov-on-Don https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostov-on-Don
