Here are some Russian pre-revolutionary cards:





The church in this pic does not look Russian, no onion dome!







I am noting that Ded Moroz and Snegurochka are not on these cards which look like regular Northern European cards from this era.

Here is something that looks a bit political. What's the uniform of the man on the postcard?




Art Nouveau!

Ничего удивительного, что на кртинках нет деда Мороза. Это же рождественские открытки. А празднование Нового Года считалось языческим обычаем.

На "политической" открытке похоже изображён простой солдат под Вифлиемской звездой.
