Issued in 1988 by the Soviet Union, this 10 kopeck stamp celebrates Russian art and equine heritage. It reproduces Mikhail Vrubel’s 1882 painting Horseman (Kabardian Breed), a tribute to the noble Kabardian horse, known for its strength and endurance. The design shows a rider in traditional attire atop a powerful dark horse, set against a softly painted background. The issue belongs to a series dedicated to the Museum of Horse Breeding in Moscow, reflecting the USSR’s respect for national breeds and artistic mastery.
