For obvious reasons, there is no such thing as a Soviet Easter postcard, but here are 3 vintage post-Soviet postcards from 1992 - they’re reproductions of Russian Empire postcards (early XX cent.)
Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates!
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 and vintage finds from Russia. More items for sale on Facebook.

This is my grandfather, who just turned 17 at the time, 4 months after the war started. It’s a tiny photo that came to my posession a couple weekes ago, kindly passed on to me by my cousin twice removed during a big family gathering.
War is not parades. War is not showing it to someone. War is 17 year old boys wearing military uniform, killing and being killed. War is broken lives of an entire generation.
Never forget!
