Russian Deck Help?

[Spencer]

Just bought this deck at the flea market it's completely in Russian and of course I don't speak a word of it. I don't suppose anyone could tell me anything about it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I wish I could help you, but I can't open the photos for some reason.

ETA: I did it! The deck is called something like 'The Kiev fortune-teller. Illustrated divination cards', and they look like normal playing cards (32 cards + a 'blank' card/significator) that have keywords printed on them. The instruction says that it was first published in a book printed in Moscow in 1878. Your deck seems to have been printed in Russia in 2000.

Is that a tarock deck? You didn't show any of the majors....

You can use Google Translate with a Russian keyboard on the screen to try to translate the titles on the cards and box.

I am sending a link for the box to a friend with Ukrainian heritage; perhaps he might be able to tell us ...

Select a language that uses non-English characters in the From dropdown menu and then you'll see a keyboard icon in the lower left part of the input screen.

Thank you both so much!
