At <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS024.pdf">http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS024.pdf</a> is a 1978<br/>
International Boundary Study of the Norway-USSR boundary.  It explains that<br/>
Boris Gleb is &quot;Soviet&quot; territory, and they use the term &quot;enclave&quot; in quotes.  It<br/>
appears that it is merely a plot of 3.6 square kilometers of Russian land on the<br/>
otherwise Norwegian left bank of the Pasvikelv River.  It results from the<br/>
Russians retaining sovereignty over a 16th-century Russian Orthodox mission<br/>
there in an 1826 boundary treaty with the Swedes.  Thus, Boris Gleb is<br/>
contiguous with Russian territory in the river and is an &quot;enclave&quot; only in that<br/>
it is reachable by land only via Norway.<br/>

<br/>
&gt; Is Boris Gleb a Russian enclave within northern Norway? Does anyone<br/>
&gt; have a fabulously detailed map they could kindly scan in please? I do<br/>
&gt; not have a map detailed enough to indicate which country this town is<br/>
&gt; even in. </span></blockquote></div>
