Three envelopes mailed in 1974-75. The airmail one is from Switzerland, the others are within the USSR. The first envelope has a cute design that says “Happy New Year”.
Do you send handwritten cards or letters during the holiday season?
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.
