Alexandra (Sasha) Deina - Boudouar (c.2018) <--- Sevastopol, Ukraine (or Russia ?)



Back side of the card:



This is one of the 'mirror cards' I am very much after at Postcrossing; I'd never discovered this 'mirror art' myself. 
 Also, an attribution of its point of departure is controversial, and represents one of the challenges of our time. Sevastopol, the city that the card came from, is in Crimea, the peninsula in the Black Sea that until 2014 was a part of Ukraine (and the correspondent still uses its 'Ukrainian' ID when sending postcards). Crimea was then annexed by Russia, and currently governed by Russia, the situation that is also manifested by the Russian post stamps and franking on this postcard.
