That map projection is the worst choice possible. It makes Russia appear much larger in relation to e. g. Africa than it really is.

For navigation, the Mercator projection is useful, because a straight line on the chart is where you go with a constant bearing. Aerial navigation is waypoint/bearing/waypoint/bearing. So most aviation maps are Mercator.
