And mailed very s...Really. a very interesting card. And mailed very soon after the opening of mail exchange with abroad. For me too, it is the earliest cover sent abroad, at least, from Petrograd.<br />True, I have a similar blue postcard posted still earlier, I.e. on 15.5.20 from Luga, I.e. when the way abroad was not opened yet. Probably there were already rumors on this matter among the population. However, it was first handled in Petrograd as late as 19.6.20 and left it on 29.6.20 evidently via Murmansk and Vardö.<br />A little later, there was opened one more way of forwarding mail abroad, I.e. via Odessa on an italian ship. Therefore, one cannot exclude the possibility that your card was directed first just to Odessa. In such a case, the way to the addressee might be long as well.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792410844505461856noreply@blogger.com
