Not bad, but it is only the Soviet Union + parts of its neighbours.![]()
Actually, that website has a huge number of maps. I've had it bookmarked for a long time and have found it very useful. This is the root directory to all the maps:

"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Half a century after German unification, is what I meant to say. Doesn't roll off the tongue very well though.
