Can Anyone Read Russian?

Baomo - I am very impressed! Learning to read and/or speak Russian isn't rocket science - it's harder!

BTW -that first card looks a lot like my house.

well I figured if I was going to learn a language it may as well be challenging.

Thank you again, Baomo, I missed your additional help on the previous page.
Yes, a couple of those cards had German captions, as well.

I'll be putting up some others but found this one interesting since it
is just one poster-like word.

this is ukrainian also (see the i), it means 'magic'

Thanks for your help with Ukrainian as well.

Here are a few more cards...

I see "i's" so this one must be Ukrainian as well.

sorry I haven't been around in a while.

Thanks again. Much appreciated!

If you email me with your address and maybe some specifics
about where you are and/or what you are looking for in your
U.S. and Eastern European collections, I'm sure there must
be something I can send you.

Hard to believe that first card is an Easter card
but it does look like people entering a Church in
the background. I guess those Russian Easters tend
to be colder.

and easter occurs later in the orthodox calendar, I guess its still snowy and cold up there.

back to card 2
'×ÁÌÙ ÁÌÍÁ-ÁÔÁ' Almaty (wall?)
'ÕÛÅÌØÅ ÇÏÒÅÌØÎÉË' Gorelnik gorge

these cards have really expanded my vocabulary

The Easter card was used and has a handwritten message on the
back. Would you like to see that? I can scan it and post it if you
would like to take a shot at translating a personal, handwritten
message, too.

sure as long as its legible.

keep posting them.
