<div id="ygrps-yiv-2004032568">I have just seen in an old soviet world atlas (1954) some enclaves of <br/>
soviet republics that I didn&#39;t know of before, and that I have never <br/>
seen on any other soviet or Russian map. I wonder whether anyone has <br/>
heard of them. It&#39;s a pity that I couldn&#39;t make any xeroxes or scans <br/>
of the maps...<br/>
<br/>
The first enclave is an exclave of the Ukrainian SSR in the Moldavian <br/>
SSR, in between the border and the Moldavian village of Michajlovka <br/>
(nowadays spelled Mihailovca), just west of the railway.<br/>
<br/>
The second one is an exclave of the Karelo-Finnish SSR in the RSFSR <br/>
province of Leningrad, with a village in it called Vasil&#39;evskaja. <br/>
This is in the area between the Onega and Ladoga lakes.<br/>
<br/>
Does anyone know more about these enclaves?<br/>
