Russian irredentism
Fixed POV wording - clearly the entire territory in that color is not Russia proper, nor has Russia possesed all of it without interuption for 300 years. The file description says It's actually Soviet Union in 1945, instead of what is claimed hereTags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit
