Postcard Konstantin Zaslonov, 1958.
The size is continental standard 6" x 4", postally unused and unmarked, published by the Soviet Artist Publishing House, circulation 50,000. The artwork is an offset print of a painting by V. Khrustalev depicting Konstantin Zaslonov, a WW2 Belorussian partisan commander, Hero of the Soviet Union. Zaslonov became famous for coming up with the idea of "coal mines" - explosive devices masked to look like lumps of coal, and the painting depicts a scene when Zaslonov discusses his idea with his fellow partisans.
In excellent condition, just minuscule corner bumps. The ink stamp on the verso reflects the 10:1 currency change implemented by Nikita Khrushchev in 1961.
