The caption to this one reads - I swear - "With the Holiday! Thanks for the coca!" I have a feeling even knowing what "coca" means ("egg," I'm guessing?) wouldn't make this card much easier to understand. All I know is, I can't think of an animal it would be more unpleasant to kiss than a chicken.

 

This little boy seems to be having considerably less fun than the child above. I don't quite understand how roosters came to be mutant beasts of burden in Russian greeting card iconography, but this gloomy child in red spectacles looks like he was hoping for a pony.

The book captions this one merely as "Easter Subject." I wish I could read the writing on it, just because I'd love to know what one writes on a card like this.
