Russia – Scott # 5156

Description

Soviet Union (USSR) • 1983 • Moscow International Film Festival (XIII) • 20k

Issued in 1983, this Soviet stamp commemorates the 13th Moscow International Film Festival, a major cultural event showcasing international cinema during the late Cold War period. The bold, graphic design features a stylized film reel and globe motif, visually linking cinema with global exchange, while strong typography and vivid color blocks give the stamp a poster-like immediacy.

The composition reflects early-1980s Soviet graphic design at its most confident, combining cultural prestige with modern visual language. This example is offered in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition, with clean original gum, sharp perforations, excellent color saturation, and strong overall presentation.

An appealing issue for collectors of film history, cultural festivals, graphic design, or Soviet-era arts and media.
