A postcard with a handwritten message and autograph by screenwriter Joseph Prut

The text of the appeal:
 "To Leonid Alexandrovich Sladkov, with good wishes and success in the difficult field of journalist I. Prut"

Joseph Prut is a playwright, the first Soviet screenwriter, and an Honored Artist of Russia. Most of Prut's plays were about the army ("The Artillerymen", "The Western Border", "The Eastern Battalion").

The postcard comes from Leonid Sladkov's personal collection. Leonid Sladkov worked for the USSR Philately magazine for many years and always, meeting with the heroes of his essays and interviews, asked them to sign on a postal envelope or postcard. This is how his collection appeared, which today has become an authentic document of the era.
