Photography by Vladimir Yudanov (1982)
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.

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.
