One of the most beautiful tarot decks ever published.
Russian folk tales and historical legends are framed within an oval, reminiscent of the Imperial Faberge Easter Eggs.
The deck is unusual in a few ways. It was started by Yury Shakov - he finished number of the cards, along with the preliminary sketches for the rest - but the reminder were finished by an uknown Russian artist at his death.
There really isn't much difference in their styles, the continuity of the seck is amaizing.
Each card is rendered in a sharp detail. This includes the border in gold on the face, mirrored on the back.
Both the major and minor arcana are done in full detail.
Published first by US Games Systems in 1992.
