(Soviet postcards from 1969)
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.
Summer is officially here! Let’s have some grapes to celebrate. :)
