“Homeland is calling. Komsomol, forward!”
Vintage poster by G. Dmitriyeva (1957)
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.
