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.
A little leaflet that were given out with store purchases (1960s)
“Merry Zoo” - vintage hard candy wrappers
Aeroflot (Soviet airlines) menu (c. 1970s)
Vintage ads. Sandwich butter (spread). Artist M. Kaidash, early 1980s.
Snegurochka (a gift insert, 1950s)
Vintage Soviet tin labels: condensed milk, condensed cream, condensed coffee/cocoa with milk/cream.
The topmost label became quite iconic, that style is often used in today’s condensed milk productions.
