Daycare kids out by St Isaac’s Cathedral in Leningrad, late 1950s
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 love everything about this picture. Avoska bags, paper package, sled, and the Ford Fairlane ‘59.
