Abstract
The paleogeographic reconstruction of the periglacial zone during the maximum extent of the last ice sheet is based on various studies of cryogenic phenomena, loess, slope and fluvial forms and deposits as well as paleobotanical and paleozoological records. These data show a very high climatic gradient in N-S transect as well the increasing continentality towards east and great diversity of geoecosystems.
