Postcard about the 9th of May. The postcard says:”Happy Victory Day”.
9 May is Victory Day. It is a holiday that commemorates the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945. The Soviet government announced the victory early on 9 May after the signing ceremony in Berlin.
The surrender was signed twice. An initial document was signed in Reims on 7 May 1945 by the Western Allied Forces. Since the Soviet High Command had not agreed to the text of the surrender, the USSR requested that a second, revised, instrument of surrender be signed in Berlin. Joseph Stalin declared that the Soviet Union considered the Reims surrender a preliminary document, and Eisenhower immediately agreed with that. Another argument was that some German troops considered the Reims instrument of surrender, as a surrender to the Western Allies only, and fighting continued in the East, especially in Prague.
A quote of Stalin:
“Today, in Reims, Germans signed the preliminary act on an unconditional surrender. The main contribution, however, was done by Soviet people and not by the Allies, therefore the capitulation must be signed in front of the Supreme Command of all countries of the anti-Hitler coalition, and not only in front of the Supreme Command of Allied Forces. Moreover, I disagree that the surrender was not signed in Berlin, which was the center of Nazi aggression. We agreed with the Allies to consider the Reims protocol as preliminary.”

9 May is Victory Day. It is a holiday that commemorates the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945. Shown on the postcard is the gigantic statue:”The Motherland Calls”.
The Motherland Calls is the compositional centre of the monument-ensemble “Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad” in Volgograd, Russia, former Stalingrad.
It was designed by sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich and declared the tallest statue in the world in 1967. At 85 metres (279 ft), it is the tallest statue in Europe and the tallest statue of a woman in the world. The construction of the monument was started in 1959 and completed in 1967. It was the tallest sculpture in the world at the time of creation. Restoration work on the main monument of the monument complex was done in 1972, when the sword was replaced by another entirely consisting of stainless steel. It is most likely that Vuchetich sculpted the figure from the discus thrower Nina Dumbadze, and the face from his wife Vera.

Poster from 1939 about Alexey Stakhanov.
Alexsei Grigoryevich Stakhanov (1906-1977) was a Russian Soviet miner.
He became a celebrity in 1935 as part of what became known as the Stakhanovite movement. A campaign intended to increase worker productivity and to demonstrate the superiority of the socialist economic system.
On 31 August 1935, it was reported that he had mined a record 102 tonnes of coal in 5 hours and 45 minutes (14 times his quota).
On 19 September, Stakhanov was reported to have set a new record by mining 227 tonnes of coal in a single shift. His example was held up in newspapers and posters as a model for others to follow, and he appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the United States. He was awarded two Orders of Lenin, Order of the Red Banner of Labour, and numerous medals.
The town of Kadievka in eastern Ukraine where he started his work was renamed Stakhanov in his honour in 1978, after his death in 1977.
Stakhanov’s records set an example throughout the country and gave birth to the Stakhanovite movement, where workers who exceeded production targets could become “Stakhanovites”.

Pin about the Luna 16 1970 moon mission.
In 1970 Luna 16 was the first robotic probe to land on the Moon and return a sample of lunar soil to Earth. It represented the first lunar sample return mission by the Soviet Union and was the third lunar sample return mission overall, following the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 missions.
Analysis of the dark basalt material indicated a close resemblance to soil recovered by the American Apollo 12 mission.
According to the Bochum Observatory in Germany, strong and good quality television pictures were returned by the spacecraft. Luna 16 was a landmark success for the Soviets in their deep space exploration program; the mission accomplished the first fully automatic recovery of soil samples from the surface of an extraterrestrial body.
Three tiny samples (0.2 grams) of the Luna 16 soil were sold at Sotheby’s auction for $442,500 in 1993.
On November 29, 2018 The Luna 16 fragments sold for US$ 855,000 at Sotheby’s.

These works of Stalin are his thoughts and political ideas written down based on the works of Karl Marx and his friend Lenin (Marxism, Lenism) in order to mobilise the Russian people for his political program.
In the DDR the communistic ruling party, the SED, wanted these works to be translated and published for the German people in 1950. Resulting in the 13 editions of the Stalin Werke. Originally there were 15 parts but after the death of Stalin an because of the rejected Stalin ideology by Khrushchev the 14th. and 15th. edition of the works were put on hold. These last 2 books were eventually published in1976.
