55306Kyiv: Vydavnytstvo politychnoi literatury Ukrainy 1965. Single leaf measuring 95 × 80 cm color offset lithograph. Creases from folding; light fading due to stock; else about very good. A colorful infographics map showcasing cultural development of Soviet Ukraine in 1965 likely published ahead of the celebrations planned for the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution in 1967. The map promotes the Ukrainian SSR as having exceptional educational and cultural resources showing the size and locations of universities trade schools theatres museums as well as TV and radio towers print runs of magazines newspapers and educational literature. Two inserts at the lower corners show locations of libraries and archives left corner and culture clubs and cinemas right corner. Eight additional graphs at the bottom show consistently growing numbers of students enrolled in technical schools universities and other secondary education institutions as well as the number of scientific workers. The graphs also show a growing number of theatres and museums print runs of magazines newspapers and books as well as retail sales of books in millions of rubles. <br /> <br /> The map was published by the Political Literature publishing house of Ukraine rather than by the Academy of Sciences and the scale is not mentioned on the map but is likely 1:1750000 to 1:1500000 typical for Soviet maps of this period suggesting that this publication was made primarily for propaganda purposes. Likely for this reason no mention of this map is made in the Ukrainian cartographic references such as Rostyslav Sossa's "Political and Administrative maps of Ukraine 1918-2008 Politiyko-administratyvni i administratyvni karty Ukrainy 1918-2008 which does mention several other maps by Teledido as map designer and Povolots'kyi as editor. In addition to this map the authors collaborated on other statistical/cartographic projects which mapped and diagrammed the five-year plans of the 1960s-1970s. <br /> <br /> Rare despite the 33000 copies printed. As of December 2025 KVK OCLC show two copies worldwide both in North America. unknown
