More about the book
The book delves into the extensive secret military mapping project initiated by the Soviet Union, focusing on over 2,000 large-scale city plans created from the end of World War II until 1991. It analyzes the historical context, nature, and content of these maps, employing a poststructuralist perspective to explore their potential applications in modern mapping initiatives. By comparing Soviet map symbology with current OpenStreetMap standards, the thesis highlights the continued relevance of these maps as valuable resources for contemporary cartographic challenges and humanitarian efforts.
