Hi everyone! Sorry for being MIA, I’m not dead but it’s finally warm outside so I try to be out as much as I can and travel too. So I’ll be mostly absent for the best part of the summer. (Also there are no major Soviet holidays for summer, so I won’t be missing anything.) I hope you’re not spending this wonderful time at your computer stalking tumblr haha. Go out and travel and make memories and have a very wonderful time! See you soon <3
It’s true spring in Russia, and to celebrate that (and also the “Labour”) Russia is off for 4-day holidays. I will be out of town until May 5 exploring the Golden Ring (Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Rostov, Pereslavl).
All incoming orders will be shipped after May 5.
I leave you with some nice postcards queueing up, so you won’t be alone. Enjoy the spring!
I put a new theme up for SovietPostcards tumblr. The last one was almost 5 years old!
New features:
I love to see the number of followers increasing by day, it’s really exciting! (Current number is 174 if you wondered.)

I’m not sure which category this tumblelog falls into, but I had to choose something, so it’s Art.
All things Soviet (1922—1991): photography, objects, songs, movies, persons.
I’ll collect Soviet memorabilia here that I like and that gives that special nostalgic feeling for the “good old times”. I’m Russian and I was born in the USSR, so some of it carries a special meaning for me, they are things I remember, bits of my childhood. Earlier eras also fascinate me big time. I want to capture daily life of ordinary people in the big country rather than its political and military history. Life that is still remembered and missed by many.
Just a little note to thank all of my old followers as well as all of the new followers. I really never imagined a blog like this could have so many. You are all awesome and you make me feel awesome too. :D
If you have any questions, suggestions, ideas, links to your collections or words of praise just hi’s — send them in. Keep in mind that my ask box is always open. (?)
