“Plant and take care of gardens, the work will pay off in full!” Poster by V. Grishchenkov (USSR, 1966)
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.
