This collection is not all that big yet, but it’s one of my favorites! All of these cards were scanned by me. Click to open a bigger version, etc.
- These are organized by subject matter
- All cards were sent from Russia unless otherwise specified
- Sometimes there are cool stamps or something else about the card I want to talk about - I put those thoughts and/or links to more images under the cards

04.02.2024: two new cards in the "other" section and one in the "Halloween" section
Art by Iren Horrors
Iren Horrors is a St. Petersburg-based gothic artist whose work I've been following for a while. I highly recommend you check out her Instagram page!
This illustration is based on this song by the Russian folk rock band Melnitsa. The stamps on this card are CHEF'S KISS - they are older stamps that can't be purchased anymore, so the sender must've dipped into their stash! I especially love the Europa stamp in the middle (because the 2003 theme was poster art and I love poster art, lol)
A limited card for a Witcher-themed Postcrossing meet-up. I have no interest in The Witcher, but I love the artist, so when I saw it open for an exchange, I had to have it! The illustration is lovely. I was informed that this is Iris von Everec from The Witcher 3 DLC Hearts of Stone
