Soviet New Year's/Orthodox Xmas and October Revolution Cards

Issued in 1962, this New Year's card combines elements both common (the holiday tree, the clock striking midnight) and uncommon (a cosmonaut, who is holding the ball taken on board the Luna 2 spacecraft) for such celebrations. Again, there is a conscious effort to link both cosmonauts and lunar exploration.
