  1. some interesting population figures there. even in the 90 years since “Esthonia” never ever reached such a high population.

  2. Interesting fact: Tuva was annexed by Russia in 1944, and if you check between Mongolia and Russia, they still exist in that map.

    Nowadays Tuva is a very poor area and many Tuvians serve (and die) in the Russian Army in Ukraine.
