Postcard by I. Znamensky, 1961
This blog shows old postcards from the Soviet Union. Retro illustration, beautiful film photography, kitsch and whimsy - all of this and more. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books and misc vintage finds from Russia.

Also from Nizhny Novgorod - if you visit, there’s a small museum on Bolshaya Pokrovskaya street running a Soviet toys exhibition. They’re got quite a few awesome toys from the 1950s and earlier.
So much fun for a vintage dork like me! :)
