There are Russian names of geographical objects discovered by outstanding Russian navigators in every place of the planet. In particular, they are in Oceania, with the island nation of which Russia has strong historical and scientific relationship for more than two hundred years. The history of exploring this region by Russian navigators is striking in its grandeur and scale. In Oceania alone, more than 70 geographical objects were discovered and given Russian names. The work on identifying Russian geographical names on the map of Oceania done by the team of the Miklouho-Maclay Foundation managed by N.N. Miklouho-Maclay Jr. is another step towards restoring continuity in the study of Oceania by Russian scientists and preserving priceless monuments of the world's historical and geographical heritage, which is important for the people of the world. As a result of research made by N.N. Miklouho-Maclay Jr. on the New Guinea Island, as well as archive works in Australia during the research expeditions in 2017 and 2019, and archive works in Russia made by the Miklouho-Maclay Foundation's team, a table of names of geographical objects discovered by Russian researchers and navigators in Oceania with accurate data about their location was created. The table consists of 71 geographical objects discovered by the Russians since the time of the first circumnavigation by I.F. Krusenstern and Y.F. Lisianski till the expeditions made by the Miklouho-Maclay Foundation in 2017 and 2019 with the participation of scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The table is based on carefully verified information.
