ok, i know it is 5 days too early, but i guess my dad didnt want to leave things to chance and over rely on dodgy postal services. so today i got in the post this lovely postcard. i couldnt believe it and immediately went to show all the ex soviets in my building (um, all 2 of them). living in western europe, it is of course easy to forget about holidays like the 8th of march that just dont exist elsewhere, but seeing a postcard like this roared me right back to moscow and 8ovo marta celebrations.in general, i love the post card, it is just such an amazing artefact of a world long gone, with a russian woman standing in the middle of beautiful international solidarity with her african and asian sisters. the back of the postcard claims it was printed in 1977, and sold for 2 kopeck. incredible.
