The Stamps Of Russia.

1957 Sc#1983 Error
Clara Zetkin (Women's rights)
Stamp shows 1857-1957 (Scott nailed it, but not mentioned)
Correct 1857-1933

Rod...

The way I read the stamp, it commemorates the 100th anniversary of Zetkin's birth.

Hi Rod.
Ivan Michurin,born in 1855,died in 1935
Michel # 1838

Vayolene...

Hi Calstamp.
I knew that,of course,I can speak russian.
I only wished to show another example to Rod.
Cheers.

@Rod,

as Calstamp and vayolene point out: the stamps celebrates 100 years from the birth day (centenary of the birth). And that centenary is 1857 - 1957. The dates do not refer to her birthday and day of death.

Thank you one and all
Well, I learnt something today.
I always assumed an anniversary emission, would show birth and passing dates.
I appreciate your corrections.

Any members offer any information on this cinderella sheet please?
22,500 rubles.

Issued to commemorate 50 years of state philately

It's a special souvenir sheet (suvenirnyi listok in Russian) issued for a stamp exhibition held in 1972, with no postage validity.

Such items were quite popular in the USSR in the 1970-1980s, so thousands of different designs exist that were issued by ph#1096;latelist organizations at different levels, from single cities and towns to thefederal level.


What concerns errors in dates of life, here is one:

In 1971, the Soviet post commemorates the 90th birth anniversary of William Z. Foster, the Chairman of the US Communist party in 1924-1934.
The stamp contained an error in his year of death - 1964 instead of 1961.





Some time later, the stamp was re-issued with a correct date:

Thank you Vayolene, Vica,
I have come to the conclusion that (Apart from Vica's error)
Russia likes to have the year of emission on it's stamps, and they are to be applauded for that.
If the year of emission is otherwise shown on the stamp, then year of passing is also noted, if not, the last year shown is emission year.

Thank you "Calstamp"

I don't have a Scott Catalog covering Russia yet. Came across these two stamps in an album and was wondering if the color oddity on these stamps was intended or not. There is a flag on these stamps which appears in two different colors and suspect one of them is correct and the other not so much. I don't recognize the flag but imagine it was probably one of the nations of the Warsaw Pact. Does anyone know if the stamps below have a color error or were they actually produced like this?
