Assorted Soviet Post Card Grab Bag

Soviet postcards were mass-produced by state publishing houses for decades, and the themes tell you a lot about what the state wanted people looking at. After the Revolution, Christmas cards gave way to New Year's cards featuring Ded Moroz, the Soviet answer to Santa Claus, often paired with rockets and satellites tying the holiday to the space program.

Other common subjects include portraits of cosmonauts like Yuri Gagarin, city views of Moscow and Leningrad, war memorials, and state monuments. Publishers like Izogiz and Planeta turned these out by the millions, which is exactly why they're still affordable and plentiful today.

This grab bag pulls from that pool at random, so what arrives could be a New Year's card, a space-program image, a city or monument view, or another Soviet-era subject entirely. Each is an original piece of Cold War-era ephemera, not a reproduction.

At under two dollars, it's an easy way to start a small collection of Soviet paper ephemera, add a curiosity to a Cold War or militaria collection, or pick up a genuinely odd little piece of history to frame or stick on a fridge.

The Short & Sweet:

• One (1) original Soviet-era postcard per order, selected at random
• Themes may include New Year's/Ded Moroz cards, cosmonaut and space imagery, city views, or state monuments
• Genuine vintage ephemera, not a reprint
• Photos are examples only; actual card will vary
• Low-cost collectible or gift for Cold War and Soviet memorabilia fans
