Russian military map

Note sure how this image will show up. It is a Russian map for invasion of Korea. The fonts are interesting for several reasons, first they are in Cyrillic, also they use different shades of blue for bays versus the actual ocean. Also different sizes and shades of lettering depict different things.

Finally for all the military buffs. The US has always used blue for friendly forces (Us and Allies) and red for enemy forces (USSR during the Cold War). As you will see the Soviet Union used red to represent themselves! The big red arrows are to show the path that the forces would take.

That map is really cool! I'll have to bring in my big poster sized Soviet map of the world from the late 80's one day to show you. Although I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have something similar already!
