Nevsky prospekt in Leningrad (St Petersburg)
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.

I met quite a few foreign people who mentioned their dream of going on the Trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Vladivostok. I’ve never met a single Russian person who’d done that or thought about doing that. :)
