New Moscow guidebook reveals postwar gaps in info
A new 406-page Moscow guidebook lacks population data and maps, including subway layouts. It features museums hospitals parks beaches and the Kremlin with limited historical notes. Population estimates place prewar Moscow around four million, now about six million, a state secret. Maps are deemed classified, delaying postwar guidance by nearly a decade. The Soviet regime previously released a Moscow telephone directory two years earlier.
