Map Of Russia Scaled by Population In Every 'State'

--

I saw this 'map' of scaled (sic) by population in evet 'state', and as I am ½ way through reading Tim Marshall's book 'Prisoners Of Geography' I was especially drawn to this view, especially remembering how he described the context of Russia's various physiography features (e.g., the Urals) in terms of regional and national politics, history of warfare, population growth, etc

(unfortunately @maps.n.more seems to no longer be on Twitter to do a H/T)
