Soviet Postcards — A Window to the Past That Still Warms the Heart
There are things that bring us back to the past without a single word.
One of them is the Soviet postcard — a little piece of paper that smells like childhood, holidays, and the warmth of home.
For those living abroad, these vintage Soviet postcards can become a tiny window to a familiar world — the one filled with sincerity, color, and faith in the future.
At Old Postcards we’ve gathered a large collection of Soviet postcards online — unique images that capture the spirit of an era when people sent warm greetings by mail and waited for replies not in minutes, but in weeks.
These are more than just pictures — they’re fragments of history that come alive through memories:
New Year greetings with sparkling trees, postcards for March 8 with flowers and smiles, and city landscapes showing the architecture and life of the time.
In Our Collection You Will Find
- Soviet New Year postcards — magical scenes with children, snowmen, and Ded Moroz carrying gifts.
- Soviet postcards for March 8 — filled with flowers, good wishes, and the beauty of spring.
- Architectural postcards of the USSR — a collection reflecting the charm of old cities, majestic cathedrals, cozy streets, and the atmosphere of Soviet times.
Each card has its own mood: some radiate festive joy, others tenderness or deep nostalgia.
For many visitors, this is more than a gallery — it’s a way to relive childhood, remember the smell of pine needles, the rustle of envelopes in the mailbox, and the warmth of loved ones’ hands.
Perhaps among these images you’ll find the very postcard your mother or grandmother once held.
Russian Postcards — Architecture, Nature, and the Soul of Cities
A special section of our site is dedicated to Russian postcards from the Soviet era.
Here you’ll find picturesque views of ancient cities — St. Petersburg, Lipetsk, Novgorod, Saratov, Kaliningrad, Voronezh, and Rostov-on-Don.
These vintage Russian postcards show how artists of that time saw their country: grand squares, quiet streets, cathedrals, and rivers that reflect both power and peace.
Each postcard preserves a fragment of cultural heritage — from the panoramas of the Neva River to the snowy lanes of Kazan.
For those living far from home, looking at these Russian postcards online feels like taking a short journey into the past — to something warm, familiar, and deeply personal.
Moscow Postcards — Red Square, the Kremlin, and the Heart of the USSR
Another treasure of our collection is Moscow postcards — the capital depicted through the lens of Soviet art.
You’ll see old Moscow with its red stars, wide boulevards, golden domes of the Kremlin, and snowy towers shining under the winter sun.
Among our Soviet Moscow postcards you’ll find:
- panoramas of Red Square;
- festive parades on Lenin Hills;
- New Year evenings in the heart of the capital;
- views of the famous Moscow Metro — once called “a palace for the people.”
These cards carry the energy of a proud and powerful city — the true symbol of the era.
