Received from Ilya Semenenko-Basin (Moscow, RUSSIA)

It only took 5 weeks to get here!  A stamp collage and a large, gummed sticker commemorating the 175th anniversary of the death of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin in 1799 at the age of 37.  There's a mini sketched profile of the poet at the top of the envelope opposite the postmark, as well as illustrations on both the front and back of the envelope, apparently from Pushkin's "Tale of King Saltan," a fairy tale for children.  Thank you, Ilya!
