Author	Topic: Soviet early space postcards

I believe they very much represent the age of Soviet Union and its achievements in space. Some are related to space events, others just bear the attributes. Here is a couple from my collection and I will be posting more on my website.

So far away of current digital impressions without any kind of personality. Thanks for posting them. They reflect a part of space history that will never return.
