A small lithographed map of the Ukrainian SSR, made in three colors. In Ukrainian. Crimea is not part of Ukraine, the Western regions are divided between Poland and Bessarabia.

The map was drawn up at the end of 1924 and shows the transitional period of the administrative management system, in which the “relics” of the Russian Empire are clearly visible - the provinces are indicated in accordance with the division adopted in 1923 according to the principle of province-okrug-district-village council (without
districts and hairs). They will be abolished by the Soviet government in a few months. The 1920s were a turbulent time for Ukraine, years when borders, administrative divisions and the very essence of the division and administration of the territory changed more than once.
