Russia – Scott #s 5906-08

Description

Soviet Union (USSR) • 1990 • Ducks of the USSR • 5k–20k • Complete Set of 3

Issued in 1990, this three-stamp Soviet set depicts duck species native to the USSR, illustrated in active wetland environments that emphasize flight, habitat, and natural behavior. The designs show ducks lifting off from water, gliding low over marshland, and flying in formation, with reeds, ponds, and open skies providing ecological context.

Rendered with careful attention to plumage detail and motion, the artwork reflects the late-Soviet tradition of high-quality wildlife illustration combined with educational intent. Soft, natural color palettes and balanced compositions give the stamps a calm, observational quality while maintaining strong visual interest.

All three stamps are offered in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition, with clean original gum, sharp perforations, fresh color, and excellent overall presentation across the set. A cohesive group for collectors of birds, waterfowl, nature themes, or late Soviet fauna issues.
