The MS must be right around (but not) SG5089, which is celebrating the same event, I believe. In Scott, it is #4905, just in case someone has one of those verboten conversion lists.
Your souvenir sheet is SG MS5092, 26th Soviet Communist Party Congress (2nd issue). I don't know what the quote says, but I see Brezhnev's name at the bottom of it.
The last few paragraphs of this article give a good idea of what you have on the overprints.
Hi scb, these are some of the bogus overprints/surcharges that Ryan wrote about. If you look carefully you;ll see each one has a 40 or 50 rouble surcharge.
Ignorance has dictated I classify all my stamps as Russia, as pointed out in Linn's I had a feeling this was spurious, but the information offered was great! SCF delivers again.
I create a new folder with "Russia ~ Dubious Overprints" I still like to collect them.
