A postcard with a map of the Crimean ASSR, 1930

The original postcard, issued in Simferopol around 1930. Publishing house "Krymgosizdat", Simferopol. 1st State Printing house "KPT". The Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was established on October 18, 1921, as part of the RSFSR. The map retains the traditional Crimean Tatar names of settlements, many of which were changed later, in the 1940s. The graphic basis of the card itself is based on the pre-revolutionary "open letter" of the cartographic institution of A. Ilyin of the 1900s, but supplemented by borders and designations relevant to the Soviet government. In the lower right corner there are "Conventional signs" indicating cities, villages, railways and highways, as well as district borders. At that time, the autonomy of Crimea emphasized its multinational character, and the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic existed in this status until 1945, when it was transformed into the Crimean Oblast. Guarantee of authenticity.
