Moscow in the 60s and 70s. Photography by Viktor Akhlomov (via )
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.

We have this place in my town where a few local enthusiasts keep their collection of vintage cars, motorcycles, bicycles and other stuff. It’s open for all and I like going there sometimes. I’m not too much into cars and the like, but I’m proud of the guys! It’s a cool place.
