Vilnius 1941

This is a postal stationery sent on 3 January 1941 from Vilnius C. (Centrinis Paštas/Central post office) to Istanbul, Turkey. Vilnius has been re-occupied by the Soviets on June 1940 and annexed within the Soviet Union itself on 3 August as Lietuvos Tarybų Socialistinė Respublika (Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic), which you can see on sender's address written underneath the picture of Palanga "Vilnius L.T.S.R.". The stamps and postal stationery from the previous Republic was still postally valid with the rate of 1 Litas = 90 Soviet Kopecks (1 Litas is 100 Centas, 1 Soviet Ruble is 100 Kopecks).
