All of this just a historical reference. As for the pictures provided, it is quite unremarkable western daub with ridiculous vkatannoy signature.
All this is only partly true, the letter was a formal, but the practice of mandatory use appeared only in the Soviet times. Of course, you can find examples of her uportebleniya, but believe philologist, deliberate use of the letters e, ekane was considered mauvais ton, philistinism.
