Komsomolskaya Pravda: The Mysterious Request of Architect Yakovlev, the Fire of 1913, and a Forgotten Enamel Basin: The History of Nizhny Novgorod in Vintage Postcards

The Pochtovoe project continues to share meaningful cultural materials and examples of professional journalism dedicated to postal history and visual culture. The newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda — Nizhny Novgorod published an article highlighting the importance of historical postcards as sources of knowledge and memory about our city’s past.

The text presents fascinating historical facts and comments from project participants, helping a wide audience better understand the value of visual archives and the role of postcards in the history of communication.

This publication demonstrates how thematic research and the popularization of historical visual materials move beyond academic circles and resonate in the mass media — strengthening public interest in postal history, graphic culture, and regional heritage. The project’s contribution to the article was confirmed through its experts and curators, once again emphasizing the relevance of such stories for today’s readers.
