Postcards happy new year ussr. Very kind New Year's cards of the USSR with animation and verses

1958
There was a Christmas tree in the snow -
green bang,
resinous,
healthy,
One and a half meter.
An event happened
On one of the winter days:
The forester decided to cut it down! -
So it seemed to her.
She was seen
She was surrounded...
And only in the late evening
She came to herself.
What a strange feeling!
Gone is the fear...
Glass lanterns
Burning in its branches.
Glittering decorations -
What an elegant look!
At the same time, without a doubt,
She is standing in the forest.
Not cut down! Whole!
Beautiful and strong!
Who saved, who undressed her?
The forester's son!
Sergei Mikhalkov.

1962
Three of us with my friends
Let's sing a merry song
And then we'll dance together
And pour champagne.
Let's drink, friends, for
So that we are lucky in life
Let not immediately - gradually
Happiness has come to us all!
You can't live without faith
Happy New Year, friends!!!
Author of poems VasiLina

1976
Last days of the outgoing year
The minutes go by, there's a lot to do!
And somehow the hardships were forgotten
And we think: what to wear for the holiday?

We hurry, fuss and wait impatiently,
To set the festive table as soon as possible,
And the old one to get rid of - without regret!
And forget all the troubles at once!

Let's raise a glass to our health!
May happiness enter every home on the planet!
And let the world be filled only with love!
And our children will delight us all! ...

They say: on New Year's Eve
Whatever you wish -
Everything will always happen
Everything always comes true.

Maybe even the guys
All wishes come true
All you need, they say
Put in the effort.

Don't be lazy, don't yawn
And have patience
And learning does not count
For your pain.

They say: on New Year's Eve
Whatever you wish -
Everything will always happen
Everything always comes true.

How can we not guess
humble desire -
Perform "excellent"
School assignments.

So that the students
Began to work
To deuce in diaries
Couldn't get through!
Sergei Mikhalkov



1954
In a white fur coat,
Not in sable - snow,
She walks on the ground
Lady Winter!

Admire, look -
On the hem, on the chest -
Clusters of pearls and gold!
It's obvious that she's rich!

It is immediately clear that good
Doesn't spare silver
Distributes gems
Days and nights through!

Do not skimp on gifts -
It is immediately clear that the queen!
Natalya Karpova

1954
Soon, soon will wrap the world in a snow-white blizzard,
Snowflakes will dance in a patterned window with mischief,
And the apartment will smell of fluffy resinous spruce,
Caramel, gingerbread and magic!

Rustling, scattering around, curls of serpentine,
The tinsel of thin silver foil will shine,
On the branches will be placed: malvinas, pierrot, pinocchio,
Goldfish, nuts, balls, moths!

At night, the oak door mysteriously creaks,
On the parquet steps, someone's quiet, exciting laughter.
And in the morning, under the needles, gifts: skates, bonbonniere,
And toys - what else do you need for children's fun ?!

Soon, soon, confetti from a smoking firecracker will flutter,
Garlands will flash, and it will become warm in the heart ...
And the mysterious angel from the high top of the spruce,
With a serene smile, he will spread his wing for happiness!
Osya Belenky

Saves a whole year!

Lyrics by B. Timofeev.
Artist M. Mazrukho. 1957 "Leningrad artist".

1977
Run out quickly
Look at the snowmen.
Arrived, arrived
The flock was met by blizzards!

A Frost-Red Nose
He brought them rowanberries.
Well sweetened.
Late winter evening
Bright scarlet clusters!

1981
In the middle of a snowy meadow
The tree is slumbering serenely.
Like a sleeping princess
Queen of the Miracle Forest.

The old elk calls the animals:
- Hey, over here! Hurry, hurry!
You forgot? Because today
There will be a New Year's holiday!

We need to decorate the tree
Run for gifts:
Otherwise New Year
Nothing will come to us!

The gray wolf carries crackers,
Hedgehog - a garland and toys.
And eared bunnies
Silver cones on the Christmas tree.

Squirrel drags pies,
Woodpecker - foil stars.
The moon has flown from the sky
Sat on top of the tree!

Smiling New Year
On the snowdrifts to them!
Irina Gurina.

1989
In winter, the world becomes kinder
And more fun from holiday worries

And know that the New Year is coming soon!

Decorated Christmas tree and lights
Gifts, a wall newspaper by the window.
And I, as in childhood, adjust the days,
So that only one night remains.

I want a noisy New Year's table,
I want a salad, "Irony of Fate"
And for Santa Claus to come again,
I want fabulous surprises, any ...

And let the fallen leaves fly
But if the holiday time has come,
We so want a little magic
And learn to give warmth to others!

Under the Christmas tree will appear again
Gifts, imperceptibly, as always ...
And it will shine over the toys
Live, real star!

And the candles on the table will burn,
As a sign of love, as a future code...
Nice to wake up in December
And know for sure that the New Year is coming soon!
Lyricist Petr Davydov

You still have an emergency, a blockage, a park,
But when you finally give out
Everything, literally until the last gift -

Come to me. And if you want - so on foot
Come, as a trusted and old friend,
With his freed bag -
Amazingly spacious container.

That's when I use it!
I will immediately throw in an empty bag
All unnecessary and superfluous rubbish,
That strained my soul, mind and back.
Take the bag to the dense dark forest,
Yes, away, so that IT does not return.
Yes, do not complain, dear, for a terrible weight:
I carried - and even, it seems, did not bend ...
Author of poems Shizel (Lyubov Sirota)

1951
Come on, girls! Well, beauties!
Let the country sing about us!
And let them be famous with a ringing song
Among the heroes are our names!

For us, the paths are open all over the world,
And the earth brings us its bow.
No wonder we grow flowers and children
And fat fields are earing!

And cities, and factories, and arable land -
All this is our dear and sweet home.
Let the new day overtake yesterday
With your cheerful, joyful work!

Grow, a country where by the will of a single
The peoples all merged into one people!
Blossom, a country where a woman with a man
In the same rows, free, goes!

1950

A bit of history...

There are some disagreements about the appearance of the first Soviet greeting cards.

Some sources claim that they were first published for the New Year, 1942. According to another version, in December 1944, from the countries of Europe liberated from fascism, soldiers began to send hitherto unknown colorful foreign New Year cards to their relatives, and the party leadership decided that it was necessary to establish the production of their own, "ideologically consistent" products.

Be that as it may, the mass production of New Year's cards began only in the 50s.

The first Soviet New Year cards depicted happy mothers with children and the towers of the Kremlin, later they were joined by Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

And after some time, the industry produced the widest range of postcards, pleasantly pleasing to the eye on the windows of newsstands filled with traditionally discreet printed materials.

And although the quality of printing and the brightness of the colors of Soviet postcards were inferior to imported ones, these shortcomings were redeemed by the originality of the plots and the high professionalism of the artists.

The true heyday of the Soviet New Year's card came in the 60s. The number of plots has increased: there are such motives as space exploration, the struggle for peace.

Winter landscapes were crowned with wishes: "May the New Year bring good luck in sports!"

Postcards of past years reflected the trends of the times, achievements, changing direction from year to year.

One thing remained unchanged: the warm and sincere atmosphere created by these wonderful postcards.

Soviet-era New Year cards continue to warm people's hearts to this day, reminding them of the old days and the festive, magical smell of New Year's tangerines.

Old Happy New Year cards are more than just a piece of history. These postcards delighted the Soviet people for many years, in the happiest moments of their lives.

Christmas trees, cones, happy smiles of forest characters and the snow-white beard of Santa Claus - all these are integral attributes of Soviet New Year greeting cards.

They were bought in advance in pieces of 30 and sent by mail to different cities. Our mothers and grandmothers knew the authors of the pictures and hunted for postcards with illustrations by V. Zarubin or V. Chetverikov and kept them in shoeboxes for years.

They gave the feeling of the approaching magical New Year's holiday. Today, old postcards are festive samples of Soviet design and just pleasant memories from childhood.

In the creation of postcards, a motley variety of styles and methods reigned. Although, of course, it could not do without interweaving the content of newspaper editorials into the New Year theme.
As the well-known collector Yevgeny Ivanov jokingly remarks, on postcards “Soviet Santa Claus actively participates in the social and industrial life of the Soviet people: he is a railway worker at the BAM, flies into space, melts metal, works on a computer, delivers mail, etc.

His hands are constantly busy with business - perhaps that is why Santa Claus carries a bag of gifts much less often ... ". By the way, the book by E. Ivanov "New Year and Christmas in Postcards", which seriously analyzes the plots of postcards from the point of view of their special symbolism, proves that there is much more meaning in an ordinary postal card than it might seem at first glance ...
