Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on December 3, 2023 at 8:26am: LENINGRAD 1970 -- SOVIET ERA POSTCARDS, PART 3 (of 3) -- FROM ILYA SEMENKO-BASIN, AND THANKS FOR ALL OF THEM ILYA!

11. The Admiralty

12. Equestrian statue of Peter 1 (by E.M. Falconer)

13. The Neva

14. Pavilion of the Anichkov Palace 15. Sphinx from Ancient Thebes, Egypt, on the University Embankment

(One thing I find strange about these Postcards -- and indeed many others from the Cold War era -- is the absence of people in them. Where ere the Soviet, Hungarian, Polish etc citizens, and why weren't they shown on the Postcards?)
