Google adds detailed mapping to 45 Russian cities

Were Yakov Smirnoff here, he'd probably try and crowbar in an "In Soviet Russia, cities Google you!" gag, but we're above such mischief. As such, we'll just let you know that Mountain View's Russian branch has added detailed mapping information for 45 new cities, including Vladivostok, Donetsk and Sochi, the home of the 2014 Winter Games. We'd suggest downloading the mapping data for the whole bunch while over your 3G connection and see if you don't win a prize, after all, it's happened before.
