    WWWWHY printed maps? They have their Russian-made Maps.me, which has offline-maps. And its equally Russian-made (but without the influence of the Kremlin ally corporation “Mail.ru”) fork, Organic maps.

    And if they don’t like the Russian influence, they can use CoMaps.
    When you have offline maps in your phone, what’s the problem with that?

      Then there’s no drama. Russians are good at creating dramas about themselves. It’s always about themselves. They suffer the most.

    Probably all part of the plan, have everyone use maps with the borders of the former USSR and send the young men on vacation near Berlin - capital of the GDR.
