Russia: Gorky III, Sochi, Volgograd.

Yes, you read the title correctly.

I'm posting 3 postcards all in one post. It's actually a continuation from the last post back in 2013: U.S.A., Texas Icons. Here are the postcards next in line to be uploaded. I found a folder of postcards photos before all my postcards queue was messed up by this guy. So, eventho it is a little odd to upload postcards I received in 2013, I'll start uploading from there.

These 3 postcards were sent to me by Stas and each one was in an envelope.

Volgograd city view.

The stamps on its envelope. It looks slightly similar to the previous ones, you might think it's from the same envelope. But take a closer look if you want :]
