Grant,
Thank you for your
comments.
I am sorry that I
renamed the Sokh enclave. In next update I will give it back it's truely name.
My reason was that I thought it got the name from the village of Sokh, I did not
see that there is a river with the same name. The main village of this
enclave seems namely Sar'kaida, not Sokh.

picture is scanned from the edge of a 1:750.000 book page, and unfortunately I
am not in possession of a same scale map of the remaining encalve part.
(The 292 page is namely a 1:1.500.000 scale map.)
It most probably is
Sar'kaida village that is situated in the junction, while Sokh is about 2 km
further east on the eastern arm.
I purchased the
'Atlas avtomobili'kh dorog - Ot Atlantiki do Tikhogo Okyeana' (ISBN
985-409-022-1) published by Triviom publishers, 1999. The price here in
Lithuania was LTL 46,80 ($11,70). (But the 'Atlas avtomobili'kh dorog' book I
bought was the last in that bookstore.) It is a great map book with 398 pages. I
have seen a smaller road map book, a 1998/99 edition, but it is a much smaller
book. It is based upon the same material as the 1991 edition of 'Atlas
avtomobil'nikh dorog SSSR', which mostly consisted of 1:1.750.000 - 1:1.400.000
maps, probably due to the Soviet understanding that good maps were a state
secret...
Anyhow there is a
lot of Russian maps to find here in Vilnius. I did not look for any better,
because I am giving priority to all the other enclaves before going deeper into
these above mentioned. When I have time I will try to find out if a visa is
needed to enter the Russian exclave in Whiterussia. There is a Belarus embassy
here in Vilnius, one of the few of this country, but according to my experience,
they do not know very much about their own country... All they seem to know is
how to cash visa fees from foreigners. In May 2000 I had to pay USD 65 for a
single entry visa!
