Russian Post Way to the Victory - Siege of Sevastopol and Crimean Campaign

RUSSIAN POST (Pochta Rossii) in 2020 issued a series of 75th anniversary first day cover stamps entitled "Way to the Victory," which celebrated the Soviet victories of World War II. In the continuation of this series, the battle for Crimea and the defense of Sevastopol is featured on this maxi card. 

Soviet forces are shown in combat with soldiers of Nazi Germany  during the Siege of Sevastopol and Crimean Campaign which lasted from September 24, 1941, to July 4, 1942. Sevastopol was a key naval base of the Black Sea fleet, where Red Army soldiers and sailors displayed heroism and valour. During the 10 months of the siege, the Soviet forces contained Nazi Germany on the southern front and prevented them from launching an offensive on the Caucasus.

This maximum card uses a stamp depicting in bas-relief a group of soldiers in the battle for the Crimea and Siege of Sevastopol during the Second World War II. The circulation of this maxi card was limited to 10 copies. Designer paper: 300 g/m2.
