See USSR! Poster c. 1931 ()
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.

I’m back!
The vacation was quite hectic and we did a LOT of driving, but I’m full to the brim with new memories, and that’s what matters, right? Make memories not war. Who cares what brand your sneakers are if you’re walking in Paris. And all those similar motivators you see on Facebook. :)
I’ll get to making new posts asap. The shop is also open. For now, here are some pictures from ! Love you all! xx
Hey guys - I’m back from my little Moscow adventure! Thanks for all the orders that came in while I was gone - I upped a mango shake for your guys’ health (it was crazy good, too).
Moscow is always a whirlwind of things, places, faces, and tastes. It is so beautiful this time of year. There is a flower festival going on, it’s like an instagram filter that adds flowers and wooden summer terraces everywhere you look.
How are you faring? Too hot / too rainy / too lazy / too busy? :)
