Thanks for those maps. I was just looking at a copy of the 2004 electoral map and wondering how to stick it on FR.
Whatever the post war settlement is, it will needs to be robust against artillary sniping and incursion. A political boundary along a natural barrier like the Dneiper would seem like part of the solution. Especially as Russia will want to control the waterway.
But the likely demographic/russophile split doesn’t quite follow the line of the Dneiper. Wonder how it will be solved.

At the end of WWII they just moved Germans, Poles, and Ukrainians.
