A historically vital and highly detailed thematic collection of vintage commemorative postage stamps issued by the Soviet Union (USSR) in late 1940. This important series was created to mark the 20th Anniversary of the Storming of Perekop (1920–1940), one of the final and most decisive battles of the Russian Civil War in the Crimean peninsula.
The center of this layout features the iconic "Perekop" commemorative series. The masterfully engraved, fine-line designs depict crucial moments of the operation: General Mikhail Frunze at the HQ command post, Red Army soldiers wading through the frozen waters of the Syvash, military maps outlining the tactical advance, monuments to fallen heroes, and dynamic battle charges. The layout is beautifully complemented by three contemporary late-1930s to 1940 Soviet military definitives showcasing Red Army cavalry, a winter ski-scout, and a military pilot. All stamps are in premium unused Mint Hinged (MH) condition with full original character, crisp perforations, and no cancellation marks.
