Front side of the New Year post card from Olga Sorokina, Nizhnekamsk, Russia. There you can see Father Frost (Russian Santa) and recognize mail artist Valery Shimanovsky in him.
Creative people from around the world are invited to make artworks with the image of Alyonka, a well-known Russian chocolate brand. Works are collected by Ivan Zemtsov (P.O. BOX 28 YOSHKAR-OLA 424037 RUSSIA) and posted there. The first "Alyonka" show was presented to public in Yoshkar-Ola Museum of Fine Arts in October 2006 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk9ruvAzT5M). But the project is still ongoing! Download Alyonka's image at http://denis.charmot.free.fr/ivan_zemtsov.htm.
