The map of the Moldavian SSR in 1944 shows the boundaries of August 1940. It is improper to use them for 1944, considering that the border with the Ukrainian SSR was settled in November 1940 (see here for a random Google hit). The actual borders were (de jure, since we're talking about occupied territories) those of 1991, as can already be seen form the Soviet map of 1941 here. (Also, what's with those colors? Is it a colorblind-enhanced palette? We have some conventions that recommend more pleasant colors.).Anonimu (talk) 12:39, 5 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
You're right about the colors, I'll re-edit the map over the following days. Please direct me to which section of the Conventions covers this type of map. The historical map makes no explicit reference to colors other than topography (while this map has no topography), and the example of use right next to it shows a random selection of colors.
