Incoming mail art from Russia

[Carien van Hest]

From our good friend Ilya came these great envelopes and a text I unfortunately cannot read. What does it say, Ilya?

[Debra Mulnick]

I really like the design, the colors and printing on the Interkosmos (and all the Russian space envelopes from this period) one!

[Carien van Hest]

Thank you for explaning, Ilya!

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

Dear Carien, I am very happy!

The insert was made by a trade organization, it says that this product is a series of postage stamps on three envelopes, the subject: "Space Research"... In fact, only one of these three envelopes went to you. Other envelopes, as you can see, are not related to the theme of space.
