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.
Moscow (1959)
The Russian Museum
Thanks guys to all of you who took a moment to wish me a happy birthday! I had a most wonderful one - I travelled to St Petersburg with my best friends <3 During my three-day stay I had a chance to visit the State Russian Museum where I’ve never been! (Outrageous especially because I used to live in St Petersburg for many years)
I enjoyed seeing many paintings that I often see on postcards! Here are some that I particularly love:
