Historical reference
The Russian Federation is the successor of several states. The country leads its history from 862, when Kievan Rus was formed. In the XII century, numerous Russian principalities were located in Russia, which in the XV century were united to the Russian state. Since 1721, King Peter I created Russian Empire. In 1917, the revolutionary movement of socialism overthrew the monarchical regime and first formed the Russian republic first, then the RSFSR, and in 1922 the USSR.
During the Soviet regime, the country from other countries of the world was separated by the "iron curtain", some consequences of which were still not liquidated. In 1991, the collapse of the USSR occurred, and the Russian Federation appeared.

For most objects on the map of Russia - Satellite photos of Google Maps are considered the best quality
The quality of the satellite photography often depends on the region, because satellite images need to be constantly updated. Therefore, different providers can have a different photo quality for a particular city or region. However, the best pictures of photographs in most cases turn out to be Google Maps.. Photos Yandex cards are often worse in quality, but they can be newer, so you can do it for new buildings and Yandex. Ovi Maps - to surprise in some cases possesses photographs, even on Google Maps,
Open Street Maps.
OSM is a phenomenon of a modern computer society, because the card is making simple people (Volunteers volunteers), (unlike the 2GIS card and others). But despite this, OSM is considered the most accurate and detailed map not only for Russia, but also for the whole world. Even such giants like Yandex or Google cannot make cards as accurately and effectively, as it makes the community of enthusiastic enthusiast cartographers. New buildings (namely, it is easy to determine the relevance and "freshness" of the card) are almost always present on OSM (and even the foundations of new buildings), while in Google and Yandex they may be present alternately, or not at all. In addition, Open Street Maps Probably the only card on which paths in parks and forests are displayed and many other additional objects that are usually not on other services.

Can you find satellite photos for which you will be able to trace the stages of destroying the Donetsk airport as a result of artillery shelling?
To answer this question, three online applications for searching for historical satellite photographs will be considered in this article:, Terraserver and Digital Globe.
For different territories, satellites take pictures of the surface of the Earth with different frequency - depending on the population of the territory and interest of users. Therefore, large cities will have more photos than villages.
Before you begin searching for historical photos, you need to determine the geographic coordinates of the desired places - longitude (Longitude) and latitude (Latitude). One of the most simple ways - Use Google Maps.
For example, to get the coordinates of the Donetsk airport, first need find it on the map Using the Google Maps search engine (in the upper left corner). Next, right-click on the site of the card, which interests us (on the airport building) and in the list that appears, choose "What?".
Google Maps, "Shaoo here?"
In the upper left corner of the screen under the "Search" line, a brief description and geographic coordinates of the Donetsk airport will appear - 48.067663, 37.741608.
You can also use the convenient online service of MyGeoposition.com (uses Google Maps) with an understandable interface.
You need to install the Google Earth program, that is, download the link. https://www.google.com/earth/ - and go through the installation procedure for 5-10 minutes.
In the upper left corner in the "Search" line you need to introduce either coordinates (48.067663, 37.741608), or the name of the object ("Donetsk Airport"). After the program will show the latest satellite image of the area. You can approach the object or extend using the navigation panel as in Google Maps in the right corner of the program.
Google Earth. Navigation
To get the opportunity to view historical photos, you need to select "View" - "Images in time" in the program menu.
In the upper left corner there will be a blue bar on a black background, where the valid temporary photo search range will be specified. Light blue vertical strips displays the dates of available photos. Using the slider or the "Back" / "forward" button, you can move through the timeline of historical satellite photos.
In our case, the last available image of the Donetsk airport from Space was made on September 3, 2014. Pressing the "Back" button, you can observe the process of destruction of the airport building. For example, in the photo of July 21, 2014, such damage is no longer visible.
Terraserver.
If it does not work find satellite pictures A certain period in Google Earth, you can try to search for an American commercial site Terraserver. For high-quality photos will have to pay (from $ 25 to $ 225, depending on the size of the image). But can help free images.
On the main page You need to enter either the longitude / latitude of the object (coordinate), or specify the country / city / street (address) of the search area.
Terraserver will show the latest image available. To view historical photos from the satellite, you need to press the button on the iR button, after which the list will appear on which the date and time of the available satellite images will be indicated.
- Also an American company that daily photographs millions of square kilometers of earth surface, supplying images of NASA, Google, Terraserver.
To go to a section with satellite photos, you must click on Menu - ImageFinder.
On the ImageFinder page, as in similar services, you can search or by the name of the object, or by coordinates. To specify the coordinates, select the ENTER COORDINATES button in the POLYGON menu.
DigitalGlobe. Search by coordinates
On the new page in the CENTER POINT tab, you need to specify the coordinates of the Donetsk airport, and enter, for example, 1 (square kilometer), and press Continue. In the CORNER COODRS tab, you can specify the area search parameters by specifying the coordinates of the upper left and lower right angles.
The next step is to click on the SEARCH button on the right on the screen.
