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 don’t usually pick up cards with writing on the front, but this one is so neat and pretty! The writing says, “This is Zhenechka doing homework” (Zhenechka is a little girl’s name).
In my shop:
K. Telzhanov “People of Boz-Aral” as published in Rabotnitsa magazine in July 1973.
I tried googling Boz-Aral, all I got is and I’m not convinced it’s the same. In any case, I love this piece.
