“The Manor in the Autumn” by Sergei Vinogradov (1907)
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 May Day. The Brook” by Alexey Gritsai (1992)
Post-Soviet strictly speaking, but I love this piece. It reminds me so much of the little river we used to go to for May Day barbecue every year!
Things I get up to in my spare time: listen to records, drink wine and pose for art paintings. :)
