The Crimean Ethnographic Museum presents an exhibition of Soviet New Year’s cards dedicated to the celebration of the Old New Year.
The history of New Year’s cards in the USSR begins only in the 50s of the 20th century. The heyday of the Soviet New Year card occurred in the 60-70s of the twentieth century. Funny bunnies, bear cubs, squirrels, Snow Maidens — the heroes of postcards drawn by V. Zarubin, L. Manilova, V. Kanevsky, L. Pokhitonova, V. Chetverikov, S. Rusakov, are still remembered by many. The exhibition includes 64 Soviet New Year cards from the 50-90s of the 20th century from the museum’s collections, which can be viewed for free until April 11, 2024— reported the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Crimea.
In addition, the exhibition “What Grows on a Christmas Tree?” is on display, which is dedicated to Soviet Christmas tree decorations. New Year’s decorations and Christmas tree decorations give the feeling of a fairy tale.
The exhibition, until January 22, presents about 40 factory-made Christmas tree decorations from the 50s to the 80s of the 20th century: glass beads, balls, intricate toys made of wire and bugles, Christmas trees, fruits and vegetables, cones, icicles, figurines and fairy-tale characters on clothespins.
