This Soviet Union stamp issued in 1961 features the equestrian monument of Nikolai Shchors located in Kiev (now Kyiv, Ukraine). The statue depicts Shchors, a celebrated Red Army commander from the Russian Civil War, raising his arm in a gesture of leadership. The design combines a detailed brown-toned engraving of the monument with a bold blue vertical inscription panel reading “ПОЧТА СССР” (Post of USSR). The clean contrast and strong political symbolism make this a notable Cold War-era commemorative.
