  2. This stamp (or similar ones with other postage rates) must be quite common. I have got some of them, and I think it is a beautiful design.

    1. Yes, I was a bit confused at first seeing it in many denominations, before finally finding out it was a definitive for many years.

  3. Bears may be intimidating but they are such lovely animals! This is probably one of the most frequent stamps I have received on Russian mail :)

  4. I am happy to have received this stamp also on my mail from Russia, and as happy to see it here. It is a very tiny stamp, and now that it is enlarged on your blog, I see details (like the fur) I hadn't noticed before :-)

    1. Sometimes the scanner has its limitations for showing stamps, but when it comes to small stamps it is perfect for revealing details like this.
