This paper aims to summarize the history of Russian cartography briefly and explore its significance. In the beginning of the 18th century, Russia had made Karta not Chertyozh, which was part of the modernization project. As a result, the perception of the territory has changed significantly. The Russian empire considered the territory only as an object of conquest until the 17th century, and relatively neglected in collecting information of each region. However, modernized Russia recognized cartography as a science for the management of the state, and completely renewed its perspective on territory. The new methodology and institutions were established for cartography in the 18th century. Modern Karta was the impetus for imperialism and patriotism for russian empire.
