'Brutal Bloc Postcards' collects rare and previously unpublished vintage postcards from the Eastern Bloc

Featured image—a 1968 postcard promoting the Flower of Life Memorial in Vsevolozhsky District, USSR—is reproduced from Brutal Bloc Postcards: Soviet Era Postcards from the Eastern Bloc, the latest in Fuel Publishing's series of books on marvelously weird and weirdly marvelous defunct Soviet architecture and design. Other stand-out postcards depict a monument to "Conquerors of Near Universe," a memorial of (unspecified) military glory, various radio towers, neighborhoods, restaurants and cafes, wedding palaces, a state circus and an "area of new development," to name just a few.
