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.

“What’s Wrong With Me” as published in Murzilka #4, 1944. Illustration by Yevgeny Charushin.
“I could walk along the sunny wall. I could lie in the sunny window. I could kip at my mother’s side or drink some cool milk. I could get crazy and run around, make some noise. But here I am, not making a move or even a yawn. Not moving my tail even. Guys, what’s wrong with me? Am I ill?”
