Postcards from Russia

I've only received 31 postcards so far, and 4 have been from Russia and China - countries in which postcard writers probably have to be careful what they say on postcards.

I was moved by a postcard I got from a woman in Russia - one she made from a picture of hers of a man (or woman) with face in hands, most likely in tears - communicating such intense sadness.

I may be reading too much into it but I got the impression that she was communicating a message about what's going on in her country that she couldn't put in writing (by the way, I somewhat disguised what I wrote about her and won't post the picture just in case there's reason to be paranoid for her sake).

Ironically, I received a postcard from the Ukraine the same day I received a postcard from Russia.....
