Selection of decks of cards
There is information on the Internet that this deck of playing cards was first published by the Imperial Card Factory in 1911 under the name "Historical", but this is not so. There is no such deck. In fact, the deck began to be produced in 1930, only in an export version - with Latin indices. The inhabitants of the USSR could not buy such cards. How could the builder of communism be allowed to see such a frivolous joker?
For the first time, a resident of the still living USSR was able to get acquainted with such cards only in 1987.

Figured cards show representatives of ancient civilizations - Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek and Norman.
I found a photo of maps from the 1930s on the Internet, with Russian indexes, maybe there was a trial print run. If anyone knows the details, please write.
