<p><span>Since circumstances have changed dramatically in 2022, I am discontinuing this project. I managed to auction off hundreds of the remaining old envelopes and sold them yesterday, 4 August, for the equivalent of $40 at peacetime exchange rates. Of this money, 15% will be taken by the auctioneer. I have a small number of envelopes left at home, some of which I will use as ordinary envelopes for sending art mail.

<p>I have several of these kind of envelopes, called First Day Covers, here in the U.S. I've used them for mailing by adding new postage on them and they seem to get delivered okay. In fact, one year, I did a daily mailing in January using them. </p>
<p>But the reverse side can be used also. I like the idea of adding collage material.</p>

<p>Hi Ray, </p>
<p>I promise to send You some vintage envelopes as soon as I figure out all the circumstances related to the post. I do not know whether planes fly from Moscow to Canada now and whether postal communication between our countries has been preserved. Too many unknowns at the moment! </p>
<p>I will certainly keep my promise.</p>

<p>Hello Ilya,</p>
<p>I would enjoy receiving an envelope such as these. I have been lookin for a few smaller ones to send your way. They will possibly be from the 1940s and 1950s, if I can put my fingers on some that are half way decent. I have many in boxes yet to be unpacked since I finally settled here in 2018!</p>
<p>PEACE </p>

<p><span>Dear Francis, the postal envelopes have long been prepared, but I will send them to you later.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Will letters sent from Moscow reach their destination? Planes from Russia no longer seem to fly to the West, so will postal exchanges continue? There are no answers to these questions right now. Let's wait a little longer.</p>
