Paper wrappers for gingerbreads and jellies from Gorky [Nizhny Novgorod] Red October factory (1950s-1960s)
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.

I got these postcards at the Space Museum in Samara! Aren’t they cool? Matryoshkas designed after actual space tech. :)
I want to share them with you, so I’ll be including them with orders placed in my over the next week. (I have 12 of these, so this is while supply lasts obviously. I also reserve the right to favor bigger orders.)
