Russia


RU-3494908

Tyumen, Russia.

This card depcits a street in the early 20th century of Tyumen, Russia's first outpost in Siberia, established in 1586.

Olga, the send, is also one of the few people to mention that my postcrossing user name (tediousandbrief) is a reference to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Merry and tragical! tedious and brief! 
   That is, hot ice and wondrous strange snow. 
    How shall we find the concord of this discord? 

-William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream 
- Act V, Scene 1, lines 58-60
