Until the end of the 1960th love letters were written with very big thoroughness and without rough infringements of the private canons established in the 19th century: carefully picked up words are written on a rectangular sheet of a paper, and people tried to give logic and the form to a stream of feelings. According to the researches, short phase of love chaos took place in 1970th when the amorous correspondence of the children of sexual revolution blows up the entire existing framework. In 1980th everyone returned to the traditions and thoroughness; letters are again written on expensive paper with vignettes, decorated with dry roses and tasty kisses of the made up lips. Computers, faxes and email start to play a big role in drawing up and transfer of the love correspondence.
Small notes are considered to be the phenomenon of the last ten-fifteen years. Not only young in love men and women exchange these small notes, also those who had been living together for a very long time. Although these notes are rather unstable means of the communications, sometimes they are very gentle and witty. They can be left on a pillow, on a kitchen table or sticked to a refrigerator, they serve as a daily display of tenderness, some kind of secret language of the two.
However, the handwritten letter comes back again and again. Last year, in February, before the Valentine's day, who is considered to be the patron of loving hearts, sets for writing love letters have appeared in all post offices: a feather, an envelope, a paper. A love letter today should be written on a strong not ruled paper of not white color, - the instruction says. -It should be written by hand and not by a ball pen. You should use "me" and "you" in your letter as often as it is possible.
The other aspect of interest is the age of people writing love letters. It is known that each age has it's own culture of written expression of feelings. Schoolboys exchange small love messages, which are written first of all for the sake of the fact sending and reception. Packed in small envelopes, decorated with hearts and florets, they are sent by mail and appear in a letter box of the neighbor on a school desk.
