    Using Google Translate and a modern Russian alphabet, I came up with these (hopefully, someone who can read Russian can either verify, or correct these):

    Garrot

    Shevchenko

    Godcharov (not sure on the third letter on the postcard...the "d" could be wrong)

    I was ready to put in that the first one was Gogol. That's about the limit of me & Russian.
