Funny Pictures (Soviet children’s magazine) March 1963. The snowman’s sign says “Good bye!”
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.
