CHTIVO Magazine No. 3, 2025 https://market.yandex.ru/cc/7bsRRy More history on the CHTIVO Telegram channel: https://t.me/chtvmag On February 13, 1903, a grand masquerade ball for Russian nobility took place, where guests dressed in 17th-century costumes. This evening was the last ball of Nicholas II. Later, the portraits of the ball participants were transferred to decks of "Russian Style" playing cards, which were played in almost every Soviet family; the decks were printed until 1993. How did portraits of aristocrats end up on cards? Why didn't the Soviet government ban playing cards featuring the royal family? What happened to the prototypes of these playing cards?
