POSTCARD N.171 - RUSSIA
Postcrossing Postcard sent on the 30th June, received on the 3rd December 2024.
Postcard image: A phantasy scene
___________________________________________________________________________,
Cut and Paste, the miracle technology of the late 20th century.... I did paste, but I did not cut....
And so Post regarding Postcard 171 disssolved into cyber oblivion for ever, and ever, hallelujah, hallelujah.....
I am so sorry, but I will not try to reconstruct the post. Have to move on and time is a scarce comodity.
Here's the card, of which I remeber saying without any ill intention towards Olga who kindly sent it to me in the best of intentions, that post cards with phantasy images were not my preferred type of cards.
The 40 Ruble stamp was issued on 10MAR2020, celebrating the life of Hero of the Soviet Union - Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub (1920-1991), fighter pilot and triple Hero of the Soviet Union. the highest scoring WW2 pilot with more than 60 victories to his credit. It shows his portrait with a Lavochkin La-5 the type of aircraft in which he score most of his victories.
The 45 Ruble stamp, issued on 10MAR2023, celebrates a pedagogue on the bicentenary of his birth: Konstantin Ushinsky, (1823 - 1871) considered to be the father of Scientific pedagogy in Russia.
Again the stamp is illustrated with his effigy with a classroom on the background.
As far as I can tell, the postmark indiocates that the card was mailed from Moscow.
