Well, I was wrong. I know the Russian alphabet and even a few words, so I could read on the back of the postcard that it is a reissue, carried out by Children's Museum of Saint Petersburg, of a postcard from... 1910. Yes, looks can be deceiving.
About the stamps
The first stamp, depicting the Monument to Minin and Pozharsky, is part of the series Moscow Monuments, issued in 2012. The second, which shows the giant panda, was designed by A. Gribkova and was issued on September 26, 2011, with the occasion of 50th anniversary of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) - it's also here.
