Postcard from Samara

Nina, who lives in Samara, Russia, a city of the banks

of the Volga River, sends me this postcard from

her home city. The building in the picture is the

Academic Drama Theatre, and the architectural

style is called 'Moscow baroque'. The monument at

the top right is a statue of A. Pushkin, the famous

Russian poet and playwright. At the bottom right,

the monument is to Vasily Chapaev, a distinguished

military commander. He is shown in front of a band

of soldiers, urging them forward.

Thank you, Nina, for a very interesting card!
