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.

I visited Saransk (the capital of Mordovia rep.) for the first time this spring, and I really liked their traditional fashion. They could do a full museum just on fashion. So bright and colorful, so full of smallest detail!
New set up in my shop — a wonderful 9-postcard set of autumn imagery from Boldino. The small village of Boldino is known to every Russian person as Alexander Pushkin’s haven where he spent his autumns and wrote his timeless love poetry.
