In 1946, the Soviet Union (USSR) issued a set of postage stamps featuring various views of Moscow, the capital city. This stamp series is often referred to as the “Views of Moscow” or “Moscow Architecture” set.
The stamps in this set typically depict famous landmarks, buildings, and architectural features of Moscow. Some of the buildings and landmarks that might be featured include:
- The Kremlin
- Red Square
- St. Basil’s Cathedral
- Moscow State University (MGU)
- Various metro stations (the Moscow Metro is known for its architectural beauty)
- Bolshoi Theatre
- Gorky Park
These stamps were not only used for postal purposes but also served as a way to showcase the grandeur and architectural achievements of the Soviet capital. They were part of a broader cultural and propaganda effort to present Moscow as a symbol of Soviet power and progress.
The exact designs, denominations, and number of stamps in the set may vary. Stamp collectors and philatelists often value such sets for their historical significance and as representations of a particular era in Soviet history.
