Spotted this rusty Lenin monument when we stopped for lunch in a small non-descript village called Cherkutino on the way from St Petersburg.
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.

Vintage Russian ABC book for elementary school (1986)
When I was a kid, I had one exactly like this one! There are multiple editions of ABC book, all with different pictures, so when I saw this one I felt a little overwhelmed. It’s such a dear book. :) My copy is tucked in my parents’ bookshelves somewhere!
