Old Russian Humour Postcards
Hundred years ago they had some funny postcards too.
The one above reads: “An Optimist: Rain during the sunshine? For the good crops!”
“This what I call a well-educated - he can do two things at once!”
“National Education”
“At sunset”
“Small incommodities shouldn’t harm big happiness!”
“Get what you deserved!”
“Just married but already quarelled!”

first suckas!
First!!
OMG Russians are sooo poor, even in their cartoon they look skinny, starving, and look soo fugly and desperate. Aren’t cartoon supposed to be funny? But all Russian cartoon shows to us is nothing but sadness, poverty, gloomy and everything that makes you want to puke. The word FUN does not exist in Russian vocabulary anymore thanks to widespread poverty
OMG Russians are so creative they have their own style of drawing and make their own cartoons, unlike poor trash backwards Americans who only read Japanese cartoons and cartoon poon, such a sad, disgusting inbred country, no wonder they are the laughing stock of the world, yuck!
You’ve got to be one of the dumbest people alive.
Heeeeeeey…
I’m russian and I watch “Japanese cartoons”(man, I hate when they call anime this way). I hope I’m not an american ‘cuz of this =)
We have old Russian saying:
First is for Emilino Cornejo
Since when does Emilino Cornejo translate as cretin?

this is awesome design. it is old but the illustration work is something to be admired even for a simple post card. I wish i could get some originals of these.
Good old fashioned nightmare fuel!
“Humor postcards” hehe yeah, ok.
I like the animated cards from mail.ru better.
LOL something abou the ’starichok’ in the 1st pic cracks me up =))
He kinda looks like a ‘grib’ himself
Overall, pretty funny post. Reminds me of КОЗЬМА ПРУТКОВ, I don’t know how many of you people know him =)
When I first brought up this page, Emilino Cornejo’s post was the first and ONLY post on the page. Somehow karabas posted afterward but still got the “first” spot. I dont know how that is possible - must be due to caching??. People make such a deal out of being FIRST and it doesnt even work right.
Russians may be a little too Rural for some of you; but I think they were able to keep up with America pretty well. If they had been capitalist for the last hundred years… America would have had to take a back seat. If the USA and USSR had a working relationship, they could have divided the world a half century ago. Still Russia has the energy to power their recovery and enough to sell to the USA and Europa as well. A nice bridge across the Siberian Straights would work well…I remember the house in Siberia that my grandparents lived in,had a wheel by it with a square hole in it.It looked like a wagon or milling wheel; but it was milk…They froze it with a square hole for a arbor,rolled it up to the house scraped the mud off the outer edge and brought in chunks to melt.INGENIOUS! But you didn’t roll it through poo or your family had the runs for a month!
Can you explain the wheel part a little better?
The wheel was about four or five feet in diameter, about six to eight inches in width,and had a six by six inch hole for an arbor to roll it up to the front door. Once up to the house in Yetkaterinberg? Siberia, they would scrape off the dirt and Poop and then break off pieces to take indoors to melt for daily use. One wheel lasted about a month.
The picture I saw was black and white and taken shortly
after the revolution… They were not too far from the American embassy and my Great Grand parents used fake Jewish passports to leave…
My Great grandparents relatives who spoke German fluently went to Germany…The Jewish passports were not very useful as my Grandmother stopped hearing from them in the late thirties.The process of milk wheels is surely regional…My memories are a little vague as well. I saw them as a child.
Thats very interesting, but why do you think that they didn’t freeze the milk in little buckets instead? Easier to move and no poop! Do you remember what they poured the milk into to freeze it into wheel shape?
This was Siberia, they didn’t make daily deliveries.They said one wheel lasted about a month.I wasn’t there and anyone who was, is too dead to ask.I saw the black and white photo back in the early seventies as my father was burning them to avoid the cold war paranoia of our neighbors.
The cottage was in winter? with snow on it and had a round topped rough wooden door and the wheel was to the left of the door. I easily miss took it for a grinding wheel because it was light colored in the black and white photo.
I remember it was about half as tall as the door,and I remember thinking it was a joke, until Mother added that you didn’t want to roll it through any animal poop on the way to the door…
