The atlas notes the presence of 3,567 post stations of the former variety, and another 576 freestanding (so to speak) post houses, spread throughout the empire.

Title A name given to the resource Post houses Description An account of the resource The Piadyshev atlas attests to the presence of 576 post houses. In some cases the post house (почтовой двор) was freestanding; in others it was designated as a "post station with a post house". The main distinction between the features in this layer and those in the "Post station" layer are that the latter were located in towns or villages, while the post houses are not located in otherwise populated places. The main concentrations of post houses occur in the Grand Duchy of Finland and in the Don Cossack territory.

Title A name given to the resource Post house geography Description An account of the resource One of the questions raised by this map is whether or not the geography of post houses stands in as a map of low population density, or perhaps of negligible state power? After all, the post houses run through the Don Cossack lands, along the Orenburg frontier, and through the North Caucasus. If there is something to that, however, how do we understand the proliferation of post houses along the Finnish coast? https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/imperiia/original/821ba11cd786b7c1ad8963acc07b3905.jpg 5dbacbe68dab6440f3f6231a6d8e17eb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Created by Konstantin Matveevich Gribanov, the set had an impressive title: <div> <blockquote> Album of Geographical Playing Cards of Russia, arranged on 80 cards according to maritime basin (A wonderful and instructive child's game of patience) </blockquote> </div> As you can imagine, these were not your ordinary playing cards. They were elaborately illustrated, beautifully-produced, and laden with pedagogical and ideological value. If you had money to spare and fancied yourself an educated, elite, or prestige-hungry subject of the tsar, you no doubt found a way to get your hands on a set. We think you should play with these cards. We think the chances are good that you will learn as much from them as we have. You don't read Russian? No problem, we have translated the content.  You don't know where any of these places are? No problem, we made maps.  You don't know what questions to ask? No problem, we took care of that, too.  <h2>Now stop making excuses. <a href="https://imperiia.scalar.fas.harvard.edu/imperiia/the-playing-cards">Click here to explore "Deal: History Through Playing Cards</a>"</h2> (And come back here anytime to access the images via a dynamic, high-resolution viewer.)
