Soviet Views of Armenia Postcard Set

A souvenir postcard set titled "Виды Армении" (Views of Armenia) in its original illustrated sleeve featuring a striking graphic of Lake Sevan with snow-capped mountains and the iconic Sevanavank monastery island. The cards showcase color photographs of Soviet-era Yerevan including Lenin Square (now Republic Square) with its fountains and the distinctive pink tuff architecture, Moscow Street with its Stalinist apartment blocks, and other landmarks. Priced at 24 kopecks, with a contents list and publisher information inside.

Postcard sets like this were popular Soviet souvenirs, promoting internal tourism and celebrating the achievements of each republic. The bold graphic design on the sleeve, with its stylized depiction of Armenia's landscape and industrial progress (note the electrical pylon on the back), exemplifies the optimistic visual language of Soviet regional promotion. The bilingual Russian and Armenian captions reflect the republic's dual linguistic identity.

Good vintage condition. Sleeve shows edge wear, creasing, and some soiling. Cards inside are clean with vibrant colors. Minor corner wear on some cards. Complete set with contents list.
