USSR/DDR Collection Archive

Just a page showing what I own so far! The USSR (Soviet Union) existed from 1922 – 1991. The DDR (German Democratic Republic, or East Germany) existed from 1949 – 1990.

These items come from that window of time when both countries existed. Check back again sometime because I’ll probably be adding more over time!
