This is a 1938 Council of People's Commissars world map in two hemispheres. With the Western Hemisphere on the left and the Eastern Hemisphere on the right, the map depicts the world from the coast of Kamchatka and the Central Pacific Ocean across North and South America and the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East before reaching Russia (labeled as the Soviet Union from Eastern Europe to the Pacific), Asia, and Australia. The highlights of the map are three lines tracing the routes of three different Soviet flights: one which terminated at the North Pole and two others which continued over the Pole and ended on the West Coast of North America, each by Soviet pilots. https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/ussrworldmap-snk-1938 #geographicus #raremap #raremaps #antiquemaps #antiquemap #aviationhistory #russianmap #sovietunion #newsovietman (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps)
