Lost postcard: Murmansk train station

This postcard was drawn in Murmansk on another postcard with a drawing by Sergei Eremkin. The quick drawing is in pencil and watercolour of Murmansk train station with the port in the background.

It was sent from Murmansk, from the post office adjacent to the street that has the same name with a street where my apartment is in Moscow.

The postcard was never delivered.

Possibly, it was delivered to the same street name, same building number and same apartment number as mine, but in Murmansk, which would’ve been hilarious, but I do not have a confirmation on that, and this would’ve required them to disregard the word “Moscow” and the postcode.

Most likely, the post office disregarded the postcard altogether. This is likely because the postcard was mailed using a postcard fee, lower than a letter fee. Post office workers are often not well familiar with fees, and might have considered the postcard was not sufficiently paid.

So far, this is the second postcard in my experience that was confirmedly lost in transit, the first being a postcard sent from Nami island of “Naminara Republic” of South Korea.
