How scoring works
Date: up to 1,000 points. You get full points if your 50-year range overlaps the museum's dating range; otherwise, you lose 1 point for every 2 years away from that range. Location: up to 1,000 points, minus 2 points per kilometre between approximate centres. Choosing the correct oblast (administrative region) unlocks a district bonus: exactly 500 points for the correct district, or 0 otherwise. Hints do not reduce your score.

Which regions are on the map, and why?
We use Oksana Kosmina's ethnographic classification, with 20 regions to choose from. All areas on her map are included. The five parts of Polissia are combined as 'Polissia', and Western and Eastern Podillia as 'Podillia', to match the broader names used in the museum catalogue.
Polissia
Podillia
Volyn
Halychyna (Galicia)
Opillia
Middle Dnipro region
Poltava region
Slobozhanshchyna
Lower Dnipro region
Odesa region
Tavria
Pryazovia (Azov region)
Crimea
Budzhak
Bukovyna
Hutsulshchyna
Pokuttia
Boikivshchyna
Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia)
Lemkivshchyna
This is one particular classification, not a list of every historical region. Donbas is not a separate region in this scheme. Kuban, Pidliashshia and other areas outside Ukraine are not included. Halychyna and Opillia are areas defined by this map; Tavriia and Crimea are separate.
