Fairy Tale (USSR)
Here’s a USSR-era (1981) card illustrating a Russian fairy tale, which the sender explained as: “Go there — I don’t know where; Bring that — I don’t know what”. Mailed however in 2024, with two stamps and large postmark. Half the message area is taken up by a long explanation in Russian from L.N. Korchemkin, the author, along with an unlikely admonition (also in Russian) at the bottom that the card must be sent in an envelope if it is to be mailed. Grade: 1
