Bibliographic notes: Atlas of Slovakia

This is an academic review of the *Atlas of the Slovak Socialist Republic* (1980, Bratislava). The author highly praises the atlas for its refined and diverse cartographic techniques, considering it not only a comprehensive national reference work on Slovakia's physical and human geography but also a model of regional study. However, the review points out significant flaws: the atlas presents Slovakia in isolation, omitting its historical and contemporary ties with neighboring countries (e.g., Hungary, Poland), and notably ignores the annexation of Subcarpathian Ruthenia by the Soviet Union after 1945. The author argues that this historical silence is a major shortcoming in an otherwise excellent work.
