Pushkinskaya square in Moscow, 1964
This photo speaks to me. I had a short period in my life when I woke up at 4, got a bunch of newspapers fresh off the print and walked around the designated area to put them up in the reading stands.
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.
