Where did Landmark get the Russian Maps from?
With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the rush withdrawal of the Russian Military from the Baltic states, thousands of paper maps covering the whole world were found in abandoned train carriages in Latvia and Estonia. To this day, no one knows if the Russians left them behind by accident or whether locals on the ground diverted the trains. Local companies in Latvia and Estonia have been selling the maps ever since. Landmark purchased them from a US based company. But you won’t have to hide in alleyways and remember secret codenames to get your hands on our maps. Simply login to Envirocheck.co.uk – the KGB need never know you have them.
