Summary

[edit]
Description
English: USSR 1944-07-03 front of a cover or parcel sent from Moscow to the Harrisburg Public Library in PA (USA). Currently the Dauphin County Library. The purple auxiliary marking lower left was applied by the sender. At the top it reads 'BOKC', the second line at the bottom reads at right 'FOREIGN COUNTRIES'. Bottom line: 'МОСКВА Б ГРУЗИНСКАЯ 17' (Moscow, Bolshaya Gruzinskaya Street, 17). In the Soviet era on this address the All-Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (Всесоюзное общество по культурным связям с заграницей) also known as VOKS - Vsesoiuznoe Obshchestvo Kul'turnoi Sviazi s zagranitsei was located. The addressee is a public library abroad so assumably the VOKS sent them propaganda material like their 'Weekly News Bulletin'.
  • The cover is franked with three USSR definitive stamps, Catalogue: Mi. 682I.
