Postcard from Russia!

Today I got a cool postcard from Russia! It shows a view of the historic cruiser Aurora, which is located in St. Petersburg. It is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and it currently serves as a museum ship. It was launched in 1900 and it took part in the battle of Tsushima. In 1917, its crew joined the February Revolution and its shot served as the signal for the start of the assault. Some nice military vehicle stamps were used! Thanks Alyona!
