He got his first Russian card when he was a baby.
Since then, Andreas has been hooked.
The last time he counted, he had 15,000 Russian cards, but lately he has received so many that he has lost count.
Andreas has always been proud of his Russian card collection. When he was 14, he “bathed” in his collection.
The king of Russian cards!
Happy boy with the Russian card collection.
For Andreas, russet time is one of the great highlights of the year, on a par with Christmas and birthdays. If not bigger.
And this year, Russian time is extra special – because this year Andreas, who has a disability, is Russian himself.
Finally Russian! Andreas with his slogan, which you also find on his Russian card.

The dream of rolling
– It’s very funny. I wish I could be Russian every year, he says as the smile goes around.
Andreas is not on the Russebuss, but twin sister Karianne posted a post on Facebook, where she asked if someone could surprise him with rolling.
At the same time, she asked if anyone had Russian cards and Russian effects.
The response died down.
Today’s highlight is checking the mailbox for packages and letters.
The twin sister’s appeal has indeed borne fruit. Russ from both this year and previous years has sent cards and other effects to Andreas.
– I haven’t been counted yet this year. I get cards every week, and most come between April and June, Andreas can tell.
Andreas has also received Russian effects in the post, and the oldest card in the collection is from 1958.
On the first day, she received over 300 inquiries from Russians who wanted to contribute.
– It completely took off. There were Russian cards in the mail every day. He was really happy about it, and it did something for the whole boy, says Karianne.
On Saturday, Andreas’ big dream came true, when he got to roll with the girls from Sentrum upper secondary school and Øvrebyen upper secondary school in Kongsvinger.

And then the big dream of rolling became reality. Because a bus with girls contacted and invited Andreas.
– It was very nice of the girls to ask if he wanted to join. I think he was very handsome, says Karianne.
-10 out of 10!
On Saturday evening, Andreas rolled for several hours with the girls from Sentrum upper secondary school and Øvrebyen upper secondary school in Kongsvinger.
The sibling love is strong between Andreas and the twin Karianne.

Andreas had a great time in the Palazzo bus. The highlight was when the girls put on Ole Ivars.
– Then I danced with the girls. This was 10 out of 10, says a very satisfied Andreas.
And yes, of course Andreas has his own Russian card this year:
Have you collected Russian cards?
Hello, still collecting, the most important happening of the year on May 17, that!
