Postcrossing Meetup (Received Cards): ALEX from RUSSIA

This poscard was sent to us from Russia. It was sent by Alex, who lives in Kazan 4304 kilometers away!


On the card we can see a beautiful view of the monastic complex of the Holy Dormition Convent, on Zilant Hill. It is a picturesque exampla of Russian religious architecture, with its gold-plated bulb-domes, and whites and blues. It was built in 1552 near the tombs of the dead Russian soldiers who had participated in the siege of Kazan, made famous in the west through S. Eisenstein's movie 'Ivan the Terrible'.



The card is written in Spanish, as Alex is a linguistics student, and our state language is one of the foreign ones he is learning. In the card he also kindly invites us to visit his interesting, historical city.


Спасибо, Alex!
