We are creating a version of Russian history you can see as well as imagine. We want to collapse the distance between the archive and the audience. We want you to be able to interact with the stories we tell, as well as with the raw data we use to craft those stories. We want to convince you that it is the work of mapping, rather than the map itself, that matters.
