SUMMARY:The Red Atlas
DESCRIPTION:How the Soviet Union secretly mapped the World\nA Pushkin House lecture\nAfter the collapse of the Soviet Union an astonishing treasure trove came to light – hundreds of thousands of maps showing in chilling detail countries and cities throughout the world. \nYou may not be surprised to learn that during the Cold War the Soviet Union gathered information about the West. But you may be astonished to discover just how much they knew about your town\, your street\, even your house. \nThis is the never-before-told story of the world’s most comprehensive mapping endeavour and\, arguably\, the world’s most intriguing maps. \nIt is the story of how it was possible\, during the dark days of mutual suspicion and under the ever-present threat of mutual nuclear destruction\, for Soviet cartographers to collect such an astonishing wealth of detail about the streets\, buildings\, industries\, transport and utilities of capitalist cities. \nCost: £10 \nFurther information \nPushkin House is the UK’s oldest independent Russian cultural centre\, founded in 1954 in a house in Notting Hill by a group of émigré Russian friends. Today\, Pushkin House is based in a 300-year-old listed building at 5a Bloomsbury Square. \nIt is a politically independent\, Registered UK Charity\, owned and run by the Pushkin House Trust\, hosting a varied programme of Russian literature\, poetry\, art\, cinema\, music\, theatre and dance\, history\, philosophy and current affairs. \n  \n
