It’s prom night today in Russia. The postcard reads, “Congratulations on finishing school!”
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.
