This striking Soviet postage stamp, issued in 1966, commemorates the October Revolution of 1917 with the slogan “Слава Октябрю!” (Glory to October!). The design features the USSR state emblem — the hammer and sickle over the globe — radiating in golden tones against a background of fireworks celebrating revolutionary triumph. Below, an industrial cityscape silhouette represents Soviet progress and modernization. The vivid red and green bursts symbolize both revolution and the energy of socialist construction.

Philatelic Significance:
Part of the USSR’s long tradition of annual issues celebrating the October Revolution, this stamp embodies mid-1960s Soviet optimism and propaganda art, combining national symbols, industrial imagery, and bold chromatic contrasts typical of socialist realism in philately.
