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.

Postcard with 4 Soviet cosmonauts (Yuri Gagarin, Pavel Popovich, German Titov, and Andriyan Nikolayev) - 1963 ()
My favourite thing about it though is the back! Written in a lovely child’s cursive, it says “For memory to my sister Galya from sister Nina Zlobina. May 5, 1964.″
