      This map is really interesting because it tries to justify the subsequent annexation of these regions by the Soviet Union in framing them as inhabited by people who (implicitly) had to belong to the USSR. Ukrainians and Belarusians „had“ to be reunited to their brethren within the Soviet Union, whereas Moldovans were considered a different nation than Romanians, in accordance with Soviet propaganda.

      This map tries to concile the Polish historiography with the needs of not angering the Communist authorities in Moscow or Warsaw.

      It’s does not look like Cold War map. Just looking at Poland border with Germany and Poland/Lithuania border. It has to be interwar period, 23-39

      interesting indeed. I wonder how did they justify that Moldovans are ethnically different from Romanians

      this map possibly shows 1939 borders as south most tip of turkey, hatay is still not part of turkey but detached from french syria as an autonomous republic. which was established in 1939 and joined turkey the very same year.

      And in Poland, the area inhabited by these minorities follows exactly the territory the USSR would annex
