USSR. Country of 189 peoples. Land der 189 völker

USSR. Country of 189 peoples. Land der 189 völker, a photo by Boston Public Library on Flickr.

Wonderful poster showing various ethnic groups as defined by their crafts. It would be great to see all 189 peoples, each represented with their own unique, indigenous crafts! 

С Новым годом!

Happy New Year! May 2013 bring prosperous and wonderful developments for everyone. ) The above postcard is from the wonderful tumblr blog Soviet Postcards, highly recommended if you haven't already seen it.

And here is a wonderful photo of Saint Petersburg during New Year's celebrations via RBTH.
