About Elena...

Hello everybody.

I'm 38 years old, live in Moscow, Russia. I enjoy music (mostly world and ethnic), languages, especially spoken, reading and traveling, although I don't travel quite often.

I always register the received cards immediately. Sorry, I DO NOT register cards that I didn't receive.

Any postcards you send me are surely welcome, but most of all I'd be glad to receive the cards showing:

- Napoleonic wars
- Nouvelles Images (multiples)
- military history
- books, texts, alphabets, maps and plans
- the sea, fish, ships and stuff
- national costumes, habits and ways
- history and cultural heritage
- music
- politics
- portraits
- 18th-20th century
- arts and crafts
- anything from my favourites (if not sent to or by me already)
- "cultural" ad cards (like announcements of concerts, exhibitions, bookfairs etc.); strictly commercial ads are boring

Si Ud. es de Argentina o Uruguay, me encantaría recibir cualquier cosa que tenga que ver con la historia de su país: un retrato de algún heroe, político o artista, una reproducción de pintura antigua o moderna etc.

Et je serai heureuse de recevoir une carte postale avec le portrait de Joachim Murat ou Michel Ney. Ou de Napoléon même.

I'm really not a fan of "cuties", such as cubs, babies, hearts and pink stuff. I also don't much like the standard touristical views of the place: if there's something special for you in this very street or house, please tell me. Promo cards can be amazing, especially those of the exibitions, concerts etc, or can be not, it depends. I prefer "unusual" postcards, whatever it means: a piece of beauty, a bit of personal attitude.

Please feel free to write in your native language; even if I never learned it, I would love to "descifrate" a new tongue. Since you write in Latin, Cyrillic, Greek or Armenian letters, I'll read them; otherwise - well, I'll ask for help, but anyway I'm happy dealing with new and strange languages.

Happy postcrossing!
