(the same artist who created the Soviet cartoon)
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.

My newest find - Festivals radio made in Riga in 1956. Weighs 23 kg!!
It seems to be in working condition, lamps light up and there’s static noise, but at first try I didn’t catch a radio. I’ll try to find someone competent to have a look it it.
But don’t you agree, it’s such a beautiful thing!
