November 7 celebrations on the covers of Murzilka (1925-1968). November 7 (the October Revolution Day) was one of the biggest holidays in the Soviet Union with huge celebrations all over the country.
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.
