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.

One of the most recognizable examples of Soviet branding - packaging for “Alyonka” chocolate bar.
Original photo was made by Alexander Gerinas of his eight months daughter Lena in 1960.
