Color map of Ukraine, on sheet 59x82, folded into covers 20x14. Includes 6 insets, showing the natural fuel deposits, distribution of Ukrainian population in Eastern Europe, time zones and mineral deposits. Map shows political divisions, major cities, towns, roads, rivers, lakes and mountains. Relief shown by shadings. On back cover: Edicion "Perelom" Semanarion Ukraniano Cultural e Informativo. Casillo de Correo 3132, Bueos Aires. From Pavel Chepijov: "Ukraina. Tierras cosacas [i.e. Ukraine. The land of cossacks]. Beunos-Aires, 1943. 58х80 cm. The map printed during the WWII by Ukrainian nationalists in Argentina (the Ukrainian emigre population at that time was over 60 000 people) showing Ukraine in the borders, that seemed historically justified by the community. They are larger than the nowadays Ukraine, in the west parts of Poland are added (including Przemyśl and Chelm), on the North parts of Belarus (including Gomel), Russia (including Starodub, Belgorod), the whole Moldova and Transnistria. Crimea is also included. The south part of Russia is marked as the different cossack republics as well: Don Cossack Republic, Cuban Cossack Republic, Astrakhan Cossack Republic, Terek Cossack Republic, Ural Cossack Republic. Most of these territories either existed or claimed that they existed during the Civil War in Russia in 1918-1922. The most powerful were Don and Cuban cossacks, where historically the autonomies were strong. During WWII cossacks have collaborated with the Nazi Germany, and some of the leaders of the White Army, who fought against bolsheviks in 1918-1922 were given the opportunity to fight against Red Army again as a part of Wehrmacht. One of the leaders of cossacks general Peter Krasnov stated in 1941, that Nazis are fighting not against Russia, but against communists and jews. He was one of the most active propagandist of collaboration. Himself alongside with general Andrei Shkuro, were involved in cossack military unit Kosakenlager that included over 20 000 people. Most of the leaders of cossacks were hanged in Moscow in 1947, including Krasov and Shkuro. Unfortunately it’s unclear when this map was printed, but the whole 1943 is the year of the approach of the Red Army to the South and South West. The key battles over Ukraine took place in the summer of 1943 and by the end of the year the Ukraine was controlled in full by the Soviet Army."
