Yeah, I forgot that one. This is especially true for Ukraine and the former East Prussia. You can spend hours on just one place name trying to figure out its current spelling, past spelling and where it might be. For some place names, e.g., Ivanskoye, there are hundreds of them in Russia and it's impossible to determine with certainty which one it is.
