To add a little more diversity on the map, there's already the Elbrus

The question for Stalker is extremely confusingly worded.

I only just parsed the question in my mind. The location is never mentioned in the movie, so it's odd that the marker is positioned in Siberia, which helped to throw me off (the movie was filmed in Estonia). Maybe turn it into "'The Zone': this mysterious location was the setting of this movie by Andrei Tarkovsky" or something similar.

The position is mostly here to fill the huge Siberian void. :)

This map will soon have a rework anyway, fitting the other quizzes in this series and correcting some wording (alongside some other modifications, I may change the Crimean questions to avoid any controversies).

In the Monuments section, "Description" is written as "Desctiption". For Battle of Stalingrad, the "Date" section says "WII" instead of "WWII".
