Christmas cards of the former Soviet Union era

Christmas cards made in the former Soviet Union era are various. There are many illustrations that make you feel nostalgic, and some coloring seems to be old Soviet. It is Christmas so there are things with Santa Claus and Christmas trees drawn, but it is unusual for astronauts and rockets to be drawn. Is it your country?

21:48 postscript: I thought it was a Christmas card because of Santa Claus, but according to GIGAZINE readers it is like a New Year's card. Looking at Santa Claus is a grandfather who brings up a miracle called Jet · Marose, and something like a Christmas tree seems to be a New Year decoration called Joluka. Unlike the Christmas tree, Jölka is left until the 14th of January of the old New Year. In the first place, since religion was suppressed in most of the Soviet era, there is no Christmas, Christmas of Russian Orthodox Church is not December 25th but January 7th.
