Laughing at the Fat Farmer: A Humorous Russian Postcard from the Early 20th Century This charming and amusing postcard, dating back to 1911, captures a humorous moment in Russian rural life. The image depicts a rotund Russian farmer, dressed in a suit and tie, who has apparently had one too many vodka drinks and has fallen asleep in the pig sty. The regular occupants of the sty, a group of pigs, seem to find the situation most entertaining, as they gather around the unconscious farmer, nudging and snickering at the sight. The farmer, with his round belly and rosy cheeks, is the usual butt of the villagers' jokes. His drunken stupor, brought on by excessive drinking, has become a source of amusement for the entire community. The scene is reminiscent of a classic Russian folk tale, where the boundaries between humans and animals are blurred, and the absurdity of life in the countryside is celebrated. The postcard, with its simple yet effective design, is a testament to the rich history of Russian humor. The sailor-like hat on the farmer's head and the expression of pure delight on the pigs' faces add to the overall fun and lightheartedness of the image. The postcard is a reminder of the simpler times, when laughter and joy could be found in the most unexpected places. This humorous postcard is a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and sense of humor of rural Russia over a century ago. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Russian history, folklore, or humor.
