    Religion was pretty much outlawed during the Soviet time - they’re not Christmas cards, they are New Years cards.

    That’s not Santa, that’s Grandfather Frost:

    “The traditional appearance of Ded Moroz has a close resemblance to that of Santa Claus, with his coat, boots and long white beard. Specifically, Ded Moroz wears a heel-long fur coat, a semi-round fur hat, and white valenki or high boots (sapogi), silver or red with silver ornament. Unlike Santa Claus, he walks with a long magical staff, does not say “Ho, ho, ho,” and drives no reindeer but a troika.”

    Fur coat and high heels?

    Is Ded Moroz a tranny?

    Obviously the USSR were very proud of their successes in space:

    They had sent the ever first satellite (Sputnik, 1957), the first animal (dog “Laika”, 1957) and the first man in space (Juri Gagarin, 1961).
    The first space missile on the moon (Lunik 2, 1959) and the first space station in the orbit (Saljut 1, 1971) came from the USSR.
