Russian journalist and author Masha Mokeeva owns a very successful postcard shop in Moscow called Amelie Cards. In this episode, Masha and I talk about the origin of Masha’s postcard business, why postcards are so popular in Russia, the Russian collector Nikolai Tagrin, and the market for postcards in Russia.
This is part one of a two-part series with Masha. On the next episode, we talk about Masha’s book, Postcrossing.
Mentioned in this episode:
Nikolai Tagrin — Russian Postcard Collector
Quint Buchholz — German artist
Postcrossing: Book of Secret Knowledge
I received an Amelie Card from Russia today via Postcrossing. How cool is that?
Wow…that’s really fun. She has a great set of cards.
