Publicity Portrait
Russian Soviet Socialist Republic, November 6, 1969. Elena, one of the two younger sisters of my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, writes, "To Tanusha, my little sister.* I am posing in costume. This is how I earn money. I am living the life of a widow."
Thanks again to my friend, D, for translating the text from Russian to English.
*[My paternal Grandmother was the eldest of six children; Elena must refer to Tatjana's size, not her age.]

Hey, stock photos are necessary.
PS The "usha" ending denotes affection in Russian?
Like the "ie" ("sweetie") in English?
Yes, the diminutive signals affection.
