For some people, it would seem strange to see a Soviet cover with a "Мариямполе/Marijampolė" postmark. Marijampolė was known to be called Kapsukas during the Soviet rule. But that's only from 1955 and prior to that, it was called Marijampolė just like after the restoration of the independence. Soviet covers from the 1940's are pretty difficult to find nowdays, especially with the postmarks of the regional towns.
