This map is of great interest to researchers and not passing controversy among historians. In the lower left corner, we see that the card belongs to the period of the reign of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. The date of 1614 confirms that this is the first year of the Romanov dynasty, who ascended the throne in 1613.

"Map of Russia" from an engraving by Gessel Gerrits (Amsterdam, 1614), published by Vilém Blau in the 1630s from the original, as the inscription on the cartouche says, "Fedor, the son of Tsar Boris, took care to compose," expanded to the rivers Dvina and Sukhona and other places, as far as it was possible to do this on the basis of maps and news that have come down to us, and dedicated to Gessel Gerard the Great Sovereign, Tsar and Grand Duke of all Russians, Mikhail Fedorovich, Autocrat of Vladimir, Moscow and Novgorod, Tsar of Kazan, Tsar of Astrakhan, Tsar of Siberia, Sovereign of Pskov, Grand Duke of Smolensk, Tver, Yugorsk, Perm, Vyatka, Bulgarian, etc., Sovereign and Grand Duke of Novgorod-Nizovskaya land, etc., Sovereign of Iver, Kartala and Tsar of Georgia. 1614 year.

In the upper left corner, in the inset with a map of Moscow, Tsar Fyodor Borisovich (1589 - 1605) is mentioned - the son of Boris Godunov, who ruled from April 13 to June 1 in 1605. After the assassination of the young king, the struggle for the throne begins, which ends in 1613.

Between 1605 and 1613, almost a decade. If the card was ordered in the year of the reign of Tsar Boris, it acquired the boundaries of 1613-14, and was issued even later, 15-20 years later.

On the right side of the map, the border separating Muscovy Russia from another state - Tartaria, which retreated beyond the Urals under the onslaught of the Romanovs, but did not surrender to the Romanovs and did not belong to them at that time - is clearly visible. The only city of Tartary on the map, Tobolsk, is designated as the capital of Siberia. But there was no state of Siberia, there was Tartary, and Tobolsk became its new capital.

The political correctness of the compilers of the map in relation to the new royal dynasty raises a smile. Where have Siberian cities gone? Or, apart from Tobolsk, they simply did not exist? And what is this formidable force near Tobolsk - this huge military unit "Piebald Horde"?

Pay attention to the name of the Volga river: Wolga olim Rha - Volga, formerly Ra (lat.). Let's think about where the name of the "ancient Egyptian" sun god came from in the name of the Russian river. The developers of the theory of the New Chronology A. T. Fomenko and G. V. Nosovskiy in their books give a clue to this phenomenon. They also write that real Israel is the territory of Russia. In this case, everything falls into place: Israel - From Ra, that is, a people or a country from the Volga river valley, where, as you know, all the ancient Russian capitals were built - Yaroslavl, Rostov, Suzdal, etc.

The map, drawn up for the sake of the new tsarist dynasty, confirms the fact that Tartary at that time occupied the main part of the Russian Empire.

The following text is inserted above the cartouche from the author of the engraving:

“Tomasz Makovsky on his map of Lithuania placed Kiev at latitude 50 ° 10 ', Cherkasy at 49 ° and Ochakov to the south at a distance of 67 miles from Cherkasy. The map, which served in the compilation of this map, placed the new city of Borisograd, Azov and, probably, Astrakhan, at latitude 48 °, but, since both on the one and on the other - the northern areas are shown too to the north, then I also do not dared to trust with confidence the localities located in the south, prompted mainly by their wrong position in relation to Constantinople. However, I think that I can put the southern areas a little lower, because the British write that they found Astrakhan at a latitude of 46 ° 10 '.

This text confirms that if the map of Fedor Borisovich Godunov was taken as a basis, then it was thoroughly redone later. This also shows that the names of localities during the Troubles quite freely "wandered" around the map and were finally fixed much later.

This card was considered to bring good luck. One collector's house burned down, and only a map of Russia in 1614 and a couple of books remained intact. And the merchant Yegor Melnikov, after purchasing the same card, won a large cash prize in the lottery. He associated his winnings with the purchase of a card. Melnikov ordered a copy of his map and presented it to his brother. And an unprecedented coincidence: the merchant's brother agreed to Yegor's persuasion and for the first time in his life bought a lottery ticket. This lottery ticket made its owner a fortune.
