The Imperiia Project: a spatial history of the Russian Empire

StoryMaps

Each of these projects sketches the story (or stories) told by a single map. Here we assemble the backstory, introduce the characters, explain the historical context, and sometimes even decode the cartographic tricks that allow an individual map to speak.

Sometimes it is a matter of putting things together, and sometimes it is a matter of pulling them apart. You will see.

Either way, it won't be what you expect.
