Exemplary penmanship in Soviet school (1950s)
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.
Calligraphy from the Soviet Screen magazine, 1960s ()
Vintage Russian books with hand-lettered covers (1950s-60s)
Postcard with 4 Soviet cosmonauts (Yuri Gagarin, Pavel Popovich, German Titov, and Andriyan Nikolayev) - 1963 ()
My favourite thing about it though is the back! Written in a lovely child’s cursive, it says “For memory to my sister Galya from sister Nina Zlobina. May 5, 1964.″
