Inspired by Russian Folklore and created by Natalia Silva, 359 backers pledged $9,684 in this KickStarter project on November 14, 2014.  Cards were printed by USPCC with a planned run of apx. 2,500 decks, plus uncut format was available.

The original designs of the deck are all inspired by folk designs from Russian heritage and culture. Traditional folk art has always played an intrinsic part of domestic culture across Russia and represents traditions and practices of the citizens.

Russia has a very long, rich and visual cultural past, from its colorful folk costumes to its ornate religious symbols.
