Hi! My name is Vitaly. Are you happy? I am, yes! I was lucky enough to be born and live in an amazing region – the Republic of Karelia! Now I live in the capital of Karelia, the most beautiful city of Petrozavodsk. Lake Onega is visible from the windows of my apartment. I have the happiness to admire it every day. I'm happy that I'm doing what I love! I am a teacher, and for many years now, every day I have been rushing to my favorite students to learn all the subtleties of modern computer science with them. I am happy that my family are with me. I am happy to see them every day and communicate with them. I am happy when I see that my postcards have reached their recipients, because I try to choose and arrange them especially for you! I am happy when I find your postcards with good wishes and greetings from all over the world in my mailbox! Let's make each other happier!
I would also be happy if you would write a little bit about yourself and your life on the postcard. It's really important to me. I read all your messages! Please do not send empty postcards! Russian is something you know at least a little bit about, then write it in Russian. You can also write in German or English (then write in block letters to make it clearer). Send standard-sized postcards, preferably without an envelope. And please, no animals! I'm really looking forward to your postcards!
PS: Dear senders from countries that currently have no postal connection to Russia. You can still send me your postcards by replacing the "Russia" in my address with "Russia via Germany" or "Russia via Taiwan".

I prefer not to receive homemade postcards made from scraps of cardboard, packing boxes, or random pieces of paper. I also avoid postcards with political messages, propaganda, or content promoting racism, discrimination, or hatred. War, weapons, violence, snakes, skeletons, pornography, death, cemetery, anime - I won't be happy about it.
