Recenzje: Atłas Armjanskoj Sovetskoj Socialističeskoj Respubliki

Summary

This is an academic review of the 1961 Atlas of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic. Compiled by a team of dozens of scholars led by the Institute of Geography of the Armenian Academy of Sciences, the atlas is a product of the Soviet program of comprehensive republican atlases. The review details the atlas's six-part structure, covering natural conditions, population, economy, and history, and offers a critical assessment. The author finds the physical geography sections, particularly climatology, hydrology, and geology, to be of high quality, but criticizes the economic maps for insufficient precision and unclear classification criteria. Overall, the atlas is deemed a valuable source of knowledge about Armenia and a commendable example of a national atlas.
