Veronica Khokhlova

Russia marks Defenders of the Fatherland Day today, aka the Men's Day (while March 8 is the Women's Day). Megan Case posts a contemporary greeting card she has found in s store; Katerina at The Accidental Russophile links to the site that has Soviet postcards for the occasion; Russia Blog writes about the posters greeting Moscow veterans with a drawing of a U.S. battleship; journalist Oleg Kashin (RUS) posts a copy of an equally embarrassing greeting to Kaliningrad veterans, with a German tank on it.
