Russia


RU-3211258

This air of lavender boots with flowers and lavender-colored books comes from Russia.  The subject of the card is not mentioned on the back of the postcard, but the card from from the city of Krasnodar, founded in 1793 as Ekaterinodar and in December of 1920 had the name changed by the Soviets to mean "Gift of the Reds" rather than to honor Empress Catherine the Great.  The user mentions that now the city is "one of the largest industrial, transport, scientific, cultural, and tourist centers of the Southern Russian region."
