Western shipping companies brought tourists to the Soviet Union during the inter-war era. The message on the postcard: "This is more than a pleasure trip - It is a voyage into a new world!" is in keeping with the pro-Socialist tone that the regime would have been trying to promulgate. Intourist pl. 10.
