This postcard came from Sergei in Minsk, Belarus.
When I first looked at it, I had no idea who this was. I assumed maybe it was a president or actor, but I had no idea. The only information on the back was the name “Kupala” and the year 1929. Sergei didn’t mention who it was in his message, either.
So, I went to Google! The first results I found were about the Ukrainian goddess Kupala. I knew that wasn’t right so I added the date of 1929 to the name. Then I found an article on Wikipedia. Turns out this man is Yanka Kupala, a famous Belarusian poet and writer. Very cool!
