This is a scan of a Russian postage stamp from 1991. The stamp features a depiction of a large, ornate government building, likely the White House in Moscow, flying a small Russian flag on its roof. Below the building, a line of stylized tanks and soldiers is illustrated, suggesting a military or political event. The stamp is bordered by a dotted line and has text in Russian. At the top of the stamp, to the left, "ПОЧТА СССР" (Post of the USSR) is printed, followed by the year "1991". To the right, a circular postmark is visible, containing the text "МОСКВА-ПОЧТАМТ" (Moscow-Postoffice) and the date "21 10 91" (October 21, 1991). There is also a denomination of "50" and "K" indicating 50 kopecks. The bottom of the stamp displays two lines of text. The first line reads "ПОБЕДА ДЕМОКРАТИЧЕСКИХ СИЛ" (Victory of Democratic Forces). The second line reads "21 АВГУСТА 1991г." (August 21, 1991). The background of the stamp has diagonal bands of red, white, and blue, representing the Russian flag. The overall impression is of a historical commemoration of a significant political event in Russia.
