Regarding maps of Ukraine without the Crimea, which began to emerge massively in recent years on TV, wrote in Facebook political scientist, a teacher of the Taras Shevchenko National University Petr Oleschuk.

I think this is not some kind of hellish plot.

Just while Ukrainians are engaged in the usual business - fantasies on the return of the Crimea, the Russians are working.

And they slaughter the Internet with maps of Ukraine without the Crimea.

Look at the articles of Russian-language Wikipedia. Almost all rewritten after 2014. And wherever there is at least a small opportunity, references are inserted to the "Crimean crisis", "DNP / LNR" and t. And absolutely everywhere Crimea is "sketched" - as "controversial".

Someone was not too lazy to shovel thousands of articles.

With maps - the same story.

Not everyone knows the geography well. And the outlines of their native country. Most people are used to the fact that what you do not know, you can "google".

And what does he find (in the search engines)?.

I conducted an experiment. Introduced alternately in Russian (and on what else will the Ukrainian researchers search for?) Requests like "Ukraine", "Ukraine's borders" and t. - about half of the "pictures" found in this way is a sort of cotton trash. With "Novorossiya" to Lviv (yes, "the language does not matter" - try to look for the same in Ukrainian).

Prepare for scandals, when Ukraine will draw in a "cut form" on the last calls, at cultural events.
