I have seen these too in early editions of Atlas Mira, the Soviet world atlas.<br/>
They appear to have disappeared in the 50s. I think there were fairly <br/>
frequent redrawings of internal boundaries in the USSR, aided by almost <br/>
nonexistent public input/appeals etc. I am waiting for some <br/>
Russian-speaking academic do make an atlas of Soviet admin boundaries <br/>
1917-1990...<br/>

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