We were so excited with the success of the Polaroid Project in Japan.
We thought that it would be the trickiest country to get it done. But we were still to experience the Russian post office…

Always complaining about the service or the wait at the French Poste? Well, don’t try to send a letter in Russia…

Dark days with very little sunlight, frozen temperatures… obviously the Polaroid camera was not built for the Russian winter! We managed to get one decent Polaroid snapshot though, the iconoc St Basil’s Cathedral, on the Red Square, Moscow.

We even managed to get instructions in Russian for the local post office:

But after a 1 hour wait in a post office unchanged since the Soviet days, 2 forms, an airmail stamp, an envelop and a parcel, we had to give up…

We could only get a stamp, but no date, no Russian official stamp….

Love from Moscow, Russia, xx (almost)
