Can someone who is able please be so kind as to decipher where in the USSR this postal card was mailed and anything else they might be able to translate into the Queen's English?
The picture and fancy cancellation are for the (3rd) World Underwater Orienteering Championship, held in Leningrad in August 1987. Harder to decipher the hand-written Russian script.
T#1086; be precise, it was addressed poste restante to the Main Post Office (Postamt) in Moscow, the addressee was S.Yu. Vasilieva.
The letter was paid to a correct registration rate - 10 kopecks for the internal registered letter them (5 kopecks the indicia of the cover - it's a prepaid cover, not a postcard, - plus an additional definitive 5-kopeck stamp).
The letter was sent on the last day of the championship, August 10.
