The pages of the calendar would then be turned from the right to the left side of the platform. The blank space on the verso of each page was meant for notes.

In very good to excellent condition. The top few pages show minor corner bumps; the packaging paper band has been torn open. As far we checked, the pages of the calendar are unmarked, uninscribed, and perfectly clean, showing mild attractive age-toning.

A curious memento from an era when people were good at writing by hand! It will make a welcome addition to a collection of Soviet-era artifacts.
