March issues of Murzilka, a kids magazine from the Soviet Union (1950s-1960s)
I’m so excited for spring!
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books, pins and vintage finds from Russia.
