Russian Postcard

The back of the card does not identify the image -- it simply reads:

Leningradsky (Municipality of) 52836. Circulation 10,000
Government Publishing Trust, "Graphic Work" N. 3

Thank you to the many people who translated the Russian text for me
(including Kristina, Shaun, Leeza, Kasia, Tanya, Elena, Igor, Laura, Oleg, Chere, Angelique, Lena, and Viktor). Igor added that the postcard may be dated anywhere between 1924 to the mid-1960s, because Saint Petersburg was named Leningrad in January 26 1924.He added that the content of this card would be considered hard pornography under Soviet censorship.
