Those who wear tinfoil hats (or trying to add value that isn't there) would add all sorts of words. KGB, GULAG, Cosmonaut, Espionage or any other knee jerk words but in reality it is just not offering any help.

The stamps are a Jet Fighter and a satchel but that could be anything... unfortunately too common a name to pinpoint.

At face value they are the oh so common wartime correspondences that are usually rather overlooked but with a little research they become so much more.

The first one was written on 13th January 1943 in Moscow and reached Zelenodol'sk 6 days later (whilst the Battle Of Stalingrad was still ongoing). Looks to be written on pages from an exercise book.

These invitations cover the period from 1986 - 1989. Several of them have short, typed notes attached specifying the occasion. The Italian invitation is the most elaborate: the envelope is still there, and it includes dinner menus with tassels and translation.

I'm not sure what the best way is to go about researching these. The first thing jumping out at me is the signature on one of the Italian items that needs identifying. I also am awaiting from my library a book of documents from the Italy trip (which included a meeting with the Pope) compiled by Gorbachev.

Thoughts and comments would be much appreciated!

Thanks!


Invitations in chronological order with translations if not in English (I'll update these as I have time):

The Ambassador of Tunisa and Mrs. Ahmed A. Ounais pray Mr. and Mrs. Gennady Gerasimov make them the honor of dining at their residence 28/1 Ul. Katchalova, Thursday, September 6, at 20:00.
