A task for y’all.

Try and find…

Imperii Russici tabula generalis quo ad fieri potuit accuratiessime descripta opera e studio Inoannis Kyrillow. Supremi Senatus Imperii Russici Primi Secretarii Petropoli. Anno MDCCXXXIV. St. Petersburg, 1734.

Or…undoctored/unedited information about —

Ivan Kirilov, Compiler of the First Russian Atlas, 1689–1737

And his REAL map!

P.S. Why does the map above have LATIN names?

P.P.S. Sometimes I’m too cryptic even for myself :o)
