The Soviet Union was one of the world's most prolific stamp issuers, and this packet of 200 different examples captures the remarkable range of subjects that appeared on USSR stamps across several decades. There are commemoratives marking the Russian Revolution, space exploration, military history including the cruiser Aurora, early Soviet vehicles, the circus, musical instruments, and international cooperation themes. Each stamp tells a small piece of the story of a nation that used its postage to celebrate its achievements and promote its values to the world.
All 200 stamps are different and used, drawn from the Soviet issues that collectors have enjoyed for generations. This is a great way to start or expand a USSR collection, and the variety of topics means there's something here for topical collectors too - whether your interest is space, transportation, history, or the arts
