The postcard is a reprint of old Soviet travel poster, made by S. Sakharov.

Amazing stamps used on the postcard 😍

Who doesn't love the surprise of flipping a postcard to see its reverse side? And this one, featuring a stunning Crimea snapshot, is no exception. But, hold onto your hats, it's not just the picture that's a feast for the eyes. Those stamps are a masterpiece too. Three of them in total, and each one is a work of art. You gotta see them to believe. They are exceptionally impressive.

Thanks a lot, dear Victoria, for this awesome postcard. Love it. 💗💕


Out of curiosity, are you familiar with any interesting facts about Crimea?

Crimea, a peninsula located in the Black Sea, has a rich and complex history, with its origins dating back to ancient times. 

Throughout history, the region has been governed by various empires and nations.
In 2014, Crimea drew global attention when Russia annexed it from Ukraine. The annexation was widely criticized and led to global condemnation and sanctions against Russia. 

This move by Russia was viewed as a means to reestablish its influence in the region, following a period of political unrest in Ukraine, which saw the ousting of the country's pro-Russian president.
The annexation of Crimea has been a point of contention between Russia and Ukraine and remains a source of international tension. The people of Crimea have been subject to significant changes in governance, political suppression, and economic difficulties as a result of the annexation.
