Abstract
The principal stages in the development of cartography in the USSR Academy of Sciences before and during World War II, as well as during the postwar period, are examined. Among the major accomplishments described are those involved in mapping of Russia's natural resources; the development of the principal branches of thematic cartography; comprehensive mapping of the Earth and individual countries in the form of comprehensive global and national atlases; and the development of new theoretical concepts in cartography and new scientific schools and directions in thematic cartography. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, Virginia from: Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, seriya geograficheskaya, 1999, No. 4, pp. 98-111.
