Need deciphering please. Russian I think
« on: Sunday 19 May 13 09:42 BST (UK) »
I've attached the front and back of this old photo retreived from my late father in laws effects. I think it is in Russian. Help would be great please.

My Russian's a bit rusty, but...

Пусть
это мертвы
изображение
Воскреснет
живой мой оброз
воскреснет.
Константинова Таня

Roughly,
"Let this dead image resurrect my living memory. [or "keep my memory alive", or something!]
Tanya Konstantinova, photographed on 16th December 1940.
Tanya
19/VII [??means XII]/40"

Hope this helps, and that someone with better Russian can iron out the details for you!
