Description
Soviet Union (USSR) • 1979 • Radio Moscow 50th Anniversary • 32k
Issued in 1979, this Soviet stamp commemorates the 50th anniversary of Radio Moscow, marking the international broadcasting service’s founding in 1929. The design centers on the iconic Shukhov radio tower in Moscow, radiating concentric broadcast waves that visually symbolize global communication and reach. Vivid blues and reds create a dynamic, almost kinetic effect, capturing the technological optimism associated with Soviet broadcasting and mass media.
The composition blends architectural realism with graphic abstraction, a hallmark of late Soviet design, and reflects the role of radio as both a technological achievement and a tool of cultural influence during the 20th century. This example is offered in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition, with clean original gum, sharp perforations, strong color saturation, and excellent overall presentation.
An eye-catching issue for collectors of communications, radio history, Cold War media, or Soviet technological themes.
