Nginx how to gracefully write 300 redirects?

Question

Nginx

Good day to all.
I had a problem on a seemingly simple task. I have about 300 redirects in the blog section of the form:

/blog?page=post&blog=blog_EN&id=298 /blog/topic1-theme-for-russian-speakers/
/blog?page=post&blog=blog_RU&id=300 /blog/webinar-new-staff/

As I understand it, here location is "blog" and then $args.
I managed to do this through a map view:

map $args $link { 
"blog?page=post&blog=blog_EN&id=300" "/blog/webinar-new-staff/"; 
.... 
default "/blog/"; 
}

and

if ($args) { 
return 301 $scheme://$host$link; 
}

Everything is working. But a map of three hundred entries seems cumbersome to me.
Are there any solutions to the problem that are more elegant than mine?
Thank you very much in advance!
