Do anyone among the spookies read Russian ?
I'd like to have a translation about what's written on the bottom of this postcard. Thanks in advance.   |

Based on my high school Russian (30 years ago), transliterated for pronunciation, it appears to read: Vereshchagine, politiku v opiumnoy lavochk. Tretchyovskaya gallereya.
Unfortunately, I don't have Cyrillic font to type into a Russian-English online translator. But it seems to have something to do with politics. Just a guess, and that it is art from the Tretchyovskaya Gallery. Sorry I can't be of more help. John |

Thanks, Dr Spektor's wife translated it.
It's a painting by Russian painter Vereshagin: "Politics at Opium Kiosk". The painting is at the Tretchyovskaya Gallery. So, you're right. |

Glad to see I could still read it, even if I couldn't understand it perfectly. Sort of like poorly written instructions provided with some effects.
