I think this a better translation of  what I believe is a poor scan of "Mo-Ticks"

Apparently, only having 36 cards in a deck is a Russian tradition, from wikipedia "Russian playing cards"

"Russian playing cards are cards that used predominantly in Russia and in the former Soviet Union. Unlike the internationally known standard French 52-card deck, most Russian card games employ either the 36 card (games such as Durak) or the 32 card (particularly Preferans) decks"
