Title: Gamzat Tsadas
Description: 1977 “Gamzat Tsadas: Fables (Russian).” Complete set of seventeen colored cards featuring the fables of Gamzat Tsadas. Artist: C. Asheroorov Ekhepov. 4¼” x 8¾”. $20.17 from RareSoviet on Etsy, Dec., ’20.

“The first national poet of Dagestan.” Islam, the Revolution, creativity. Wrote poems, fairy tales, and fables for children. I can recognize perhaps five of the fables pictured here. I put them first here. The card size is unusual, with title, colored image, and a few lines on the front and a full text in Russian on the verso. Soon enough, we may be able to use OCR technology to make more sense of the texts. Till then, I have to be happy to enjoy the pictures and wonder about the story!
