This commemorative 4-kopeck stamp, issued by the Soviet Union (CCCP) in 1981, celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Moscow Electrotechnical Institute of Communications (MEIS), a leading center for telecommunications education and research.
The design blends modernist architecture with technological symbols—depicting the institute’s main building, radio antennas, the Ostankino television tower, and a satellite, symbolizing the USSR’s leadership in global communications.
In the upper section, the red emblem merges the institute’s initials with arrows of progress, accompanied by the inscription “60 лет” (60 years).
This issue highlights the Soviet emphasis on scientific advancement and telecommunications development, key sectors during the late Cold War.
An important thematic piece for collectors of Soviet science, education, or telecommunications issues.
