This 5-kopek commemorative from the Soviet Union (USSR), issued in 1990, features S. V. Gerasimov’s 1936 painting “V. I. Lenin Among the Delegates of the II Congress of Soviets.” The design celebrates the legacy of the October Revolution, reinforced by the slogan “С ПРАЗДНИКОМ ОКТЯБРЯ!” (“Happy October Holiday!”).
The artwork shows Lenin surrounded by workers and Red Guards, emphasizing leadership and mass participation during early Soviet state-building. Issued during the final years of the USSR, this stamp represents late-Soviet commemorative style and ideological themes.
A desirable piece for collectors of Lenin topicals, Revolution history, and USSR late-period philately.
