Credit goes to Ben Schmidt for the data visualization of the world illustrated through the exploration of Russian research ships in the Soviet period.

Deck 735 from the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set contains data on Russian research vessel travel trajectories from 1936 to 2000. Thus, it shows the Soviet exploration of the oceans along straight lines and in grids, though with an increased focus on certain strategically important areas such as major Russian ports, Cuba, etc.
