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.
“State Emblems and Flags of the Soviet Republics”, Full set of 16 vintage postcards (1967)
Listed on Etsy:
Cover of “Building USSR” (August 1937). You can see the specially designed ring that held together a pioneer’s red scarf. Those rings were widely used until late 30s and then were gradually replaced with pioneer pins.
