International Women's Day - the Soviet Style

Hello my dear friends! Today the whole world is celebrating International Women's Day - a day to pay tribute to all the women on Earth for their dedication, love, care, support... A tribute to those women, living and those who are not with us anymore, for the warmth of their hearts, and softness of their voices, for being strong and brave, for being mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, and being constant inspiration for their families, partners, and friends!
Here is a small collection of  8th of March Soviet era cards which I think are really sweet, promoting family, love, kindness. My parents have some of Soviet cards at home too, I need to ask to take photos of them :)
A beautiful Soviet woman - ideal one I suppose... a dream.
Russian girls dressed in traditional costumes, dancing and celebrating.
Children writing: Congratulations to mummy for 8th of March.
Happy women's day to all ethnicity!
Isn't this one very sweet? Such a good example :)
Russian dolls!!! Oh no.. I have just remembered I bought one in Moscow last year... and it is still lying somewhere in the box - out, out on the shelf!!! Silly me :(
I am late but it was my dear mom's birthday yesterday (7th of March), she was a gift to her mom for Women's day many years a go... Love you mom! And miss you a lot!!! Be healthy and happy always!

Happy Women's Day once again! Be happy and smile more!

  10. These are gorgeous!!! And, my daughter collects Matryoshka dolls - lots of vintage ones, and Jackie brought her one from Russia a few years back. Plus I have found a Scandinavian shop in CO that purchases from Russia - I have brought her back two beautiful ones with painted scenes, instead of the girls that are the norm. Go dig that one out of the box! XOXO
