USSR chart atlas, edition 1940, Small pocket size, Rare.

USSR chart atlas, edition 1940, Small pocket size. Interesting fact: all Baltic States (Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) had been annexed to USSR just few month before publication of this atlas and that's why they do not have their own republic coat of arms. Later they got their new flags, emblems, Soviet republic coat of arms and of course new governments. Historical note: after occupation in 1940 all 3 Baltic States lost their independence for more than 60 years and became a part of Soviet Union.
