This blog is about old postcards, book illustration, history and culture of Russia and the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 10 years old.
Cover of Funny Pictures, a Soviet children’s magazine, December 1991. Artist Tatyana Kolyusheva.
November 7 celebrations on the covers of Murzilka (1925-1968). November 7 (the October Revolution Day) was one of the biggest holidays in the Soviet Union with huge celebrations all over the country.
Would you post some Misha magazine covers? It was my favorite as a kid and I really miss it!
Oh, I remember it, I used to subscribe to it in mid-90s. It had a specific style of illustration and seeing it now brings back memories for me! Here are two covers that I remember + a couple links down below.
Moscow, February 4, 1990. The most massive protest in the history of the Soviet Union. 300 thousand people marched from the Crimean Bridge along the Garden Ring and Gorky Street (now Tverskaya) to the 50th Anniversary of October Square (Manezhnaya). The main demand of the protesters was to abolish Article 6 of the USSR Constitution that declared the leading role of the Communist Party.
