| Summary: | The following notes and accompanying map have resulted from an attempt to devise a regional classification for the Institute's increasing collection of reports, maps and other documentary material dealing with northern Russia. Changes in the position and function of administrative boundaries present a special cartographic problem when they are of such bewildering frequency, for the dynamism inherent in the Soviet administrative structure since its inception in 1917 has not yet shown any signs of diminishing. While much of the available material can conveniently be classified under the headings of the major administrative regions existing at any particular date, the writer must admit that he is still not much nearer to a satisfactory solution of the original problem which prompted the inquiry. |
