→ I graduated from St.Petersburg State University of Culture & Arts in 2011 (a 5-year-course of world politics & international relations).

→ and about my preferences in postcards:
I adore Art Nouveau style (Jugendstil), old/antique photographs and views (esp. connected with royal heritage — interiors ♥, palaces & gardens, streets) and everything from "Things I like" section above - those are types of cards which I mostly appreciate.
Then — art, illustration, b&w photos & breathtaking views of any kind — from sumptuous historical sights to incredible modern architecture & nature landscapes of YOUR country (not touristic multi-views; I prefer cards with 1 view).
