It is believed that its author is a famous geographer, encyclopedist Volodymyr Kubiiovych. However, there is reason to assume that V. Kubiiovych has nothing to do with the compilation of this atlas, as he does not cite this work in his bibliography. In this study, we suggest that the Historical Atlas of Ukraine was created not for scientific and educational purposes, but because of political inquiries. Probably, V. Kubiyovych was involved in its preparation in connection with the socio-political conditions in which the scholar found himself. 2020 9 16 10.37068/evu.12.1 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/article/81 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/doi/10.37068/evu.12.1.pdf A German plan for the partition of the Soviet Union (May 1941).
