You do get Russian aviation maps of most continents, but they're ancient and so quite a few newer roads are missing. They give you a fairly good overview of the topography. Sometimes I found that a marked road over the Andes was just a mule track and so of no use to me ;-)
I used them for planning purposes for a Patagonia ride, but the local road maps were more detailed and of later publishing date.
Beside a geographical bookshop in Munich I think Touratech sells them as well.
