will update the question with the number 9 to the thread.
Name of the recipient (sister) could be Motra (Мотра) - maybe an another form of Matrona/ Матрона - wiki

The blue 9 is probably some sort of marking from soviet secret services/archive, thanks a lot for this observation, it might help understanding better how these postcards were collected and stored originally

[t-m]

Numbers written in blue crayon exactly like these on postcards and letters in Germany usually indicated postage due on insufficiently prepaid mail (no/not enough stamps). But usually they were accomplished with a red stamp „Nachgebühr“ and these postcards were already prepaid, so I think it’s unlikely here.

I wanted to mention it nevertheless just in case it helps somehow with understanding more about the postcards.
