CHANGES IN PLACE NAMES - NORTH CAUCASUS Difficulty in following operations in Russia is sometimes caused by the fact that many place names have been changed under the Soviet regime and may not be easy to identify on available maps. The list given below, for the region of the North Caucasus, shows the present place names in capitals, and the older names in capitals and lower case. For convenience, both old and new names are arranged alphabetically in the left-hand column. Similar lists for other selected regions will be issued later.
