“Hero Pioneers” - vintage Soviet book from 1961. A collection of stories about young pioneers during patriotic wars.
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.
