Sažetak: U 19. veku Srbija i Crna Gora su vodile borbe za slobodu i povratak na evropsku istorijsku scenu. U tome su imali značajnu podršku Rusije, koja je imala svoje geopolitičke i geostrateške ciljeve na Balkanskom poluostrvu, u vezi sa rešavanjem tzv. „Istočnog pitanja“ tj. pitanja geopolitičkog nasleđa Evropske Turske. Ruski kartografi su radili na pripremi preciznih topografskih karata balkanske ratne pozornice, na kojoj je Rusija u toku 19. veka vodila četiri rata protiv Otomanske imperije. U ovom radu razmatraju se prvi radovi ruskih kartografa na tlu Srbije i Crne Gore, neposredno posle rusko-turskog rata 1828‒1829. i Hatišerifa 1831. godine, s posebnim osvrtom na kartografsko prikazivanje granica. Njihove karte su predstavljale napredak u odnosu na dotadašnje austrijske i druge evropske karte, a danas predstavljaju prvorazrednu arhivsku građu kao dokumenti o prvom državno-pravnom uspostavljanju granica Srbije i Crne Gore. Cilj ovoga rada je da privuče pažnju istraživača za proučavanja tih geografskih karata i konteksta u kojem su one nastale.
Ključne reči: Stare karte Srbije, Stare karte Crne Gore, ruski kartografi, vojna kartografija, istorijska kartografija, 19. vek, Balkan.

Abstract: In the 19^th century, Serbia and Montenegro fought for freedom and comeback to the European historical scene. They had significant support from Russia, which had its geopolitical and geostrategic goals on the Balkan Peninsula, in connection with resolving the so-called „Eastern Question“, namely, issues of the geopolitical heritage of European Turkey. Russian cartographers worked on the preparation of precise topographic maps of the Balkan war stage, on which Russia fought four wars against the Ottoman Empire during the 19^th century. This paper discusses the first works of Russian cartographers on the territory of Serbia and Montenegro, immediately after the Russo-Turkish war of 1828‒1829 and hatt-i sharif in 1831, with special reference to the cartographic representation of borders. Their maps represented an improvement from the previous Austrian and other European maps, and today they represent first-class archival material as documents of the first legal state establishment of borders of Serbia and Montenegro. The aim of this paper is to attract the attention of researchers for the study of these geographical maps and the context in which they were created.
Key words: Old maps of Serbia, Old maps of Montenegro, Russian cartographers, military cartography, historical cartography, 19^th century, Balkans.
